Mother Lode Labor Market Information
March 2021
Since the onset of the pandemic, Mother Lode counties (Amador, Calaveras, Mariposa, Tuolumne) have averaged lower unemployment rates than California as a whole, with Calaveras County consistently lower than the rest. Although Mother Lode unemployment has now returned to near pre-pandemic rates, the data is misleading because there are fewer in the labor force. The labor market will not fully stabilize until the economy recovers and the labor force is once again engaged. As might be expected for the Mother Lode, Leisure & Hospitality and Local Government suffered the largest job decline (2,710 total) over the past year, but they are also the two industries with the highest job gains in the past month, indicating we are on the path to economic recovery.
