Will the south rise again?

Steve Levy boils down the March jobs report from the Employment Development Department.. Pretty amazing north/south split:

California is down 12,000 jobs year over year in March.

The last of the writer's strike impact was recorded in March as Information sector jobs were up 6,700 led by an 8,900 rebound in motion picture jobs.

The regional picture continued to show the Bay Area leading the state, up 19,800 jobs year over year while Southern California recorded a 62,600 loss for the year. The Sacramento region was up 400 jobs while San Diego was down 1,700 jobs year over year.
