San Diego jobless rate falls to its lowest level all year. Leisure, hospitality hiring lead the pack

The San Diego region gained 6,600 jobs in April. The unemployment rate was 4.1 percent, its lowest since summer 2023

San Diego County’s unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest level in 10 months.

The jobless rate was 4.1 percent in April, down from 4.4 percent in March , state labor officials said Friday. It was the lowest unemployment has been in the region since July 2023. It was still higher than the national average of 3.5 percent, but lower than the 4.8 percent California average.

Leisure and hospitality led hiring with 2,600 jobs added in a month. Work in the sector includes positions at hotels, bars, casinos and restaurants. Other big gains were in private education and health services, as well as government (mainly education), with 1,800 new jobs each.

Ray Major, chief economist at the San Diego Association of Governments, said many industries are still recovering from COVID-19 and trying to return to where they were before. He said that was especially the case, in terms of overall hiring with leisure and hospitality.

“I know people think the pandemic was a long time ago,” Major said. “But it hit industries so hard.”

He said the low unemployment rate wasn’t a sign the economy was booming or that workers were feeling like they were getting ahead of inflation. A growing number of people, Major said, have second jobs.

In April, 8.3 million Americans held multiple jobs, up from 7.6 million at the same time last year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics . The data isn’t broken down by metro area, but Major reasoned some of the new hires in San Diego might be on their second job.

One reason the unemployment rate looked a little better in April: Fewer people looking for work. San Diego County’s labor force — adults who either have a job or are actively looking for one — took an unexpected drop to 1.58 million, down 15,900 in a month. That could mean workers have given up on trying to find a job they want, Major said, or just left San Diego.

From March to April, other industries to gain jobs were construction, adding 1,000; Financial activities (real estate, insurance, investments) with 200; and trade, transportation and utilities (mostly retail) with 100.

The most job openings in April were for registered nurses, according to state data that aggregates job postings during the month. There were 2,619 job postings for nurses, followed by posts for retail salespeople with 2,310, sales representatives with 1,201 and first-line supervisors of retail workers with 1,145.

The top employers, by job postings, were Sharp Healthcare, UC San Diego, Scripps Health and Apple.

When adjusted for seasonal swings, the San Diego County unemployment rate in April was 4.4 percent, down from 4.5 percent the previous month, said Beacon Economics. That compares to the seasonally adjusted U.S. average of 3.9 percent and 5.3 percent in California — the highest in the nation.

“The state continues to struggle with its labor supply, which remained essentially unchanged in April,” wrote Beacon Economics in its analysis. “Since February 2020, California’s labor force has fallen by 246,200 workers, a 1.3 percent decline. In comparison, over the past 12 months, the nation’s labor force has increased by 0.8 percent.”

On an annual basis in San Diego County, private education and health services added the most jobs with 15,600. It was followed by leisure and hospitality with 5,400, government with 5,200, construction with 3,000, services (laundry, maintenance, religious) with 1,200, and trade transportation and utilities with 400.

The high-paying professional and business services sector has had the most losses with 9,500 positions gone. Work in the sector includes jobs in legal, scientific, waste management and architecture. Other sectors to lose jobs were manufacturing, down 4,100; financial activities (real estate, insurance, investments), down 2,000; and information (broadcasting, telecommunications, newspapers), down 1,300.

State officials do not seasonally adjust jobless rates for individual counties. Compared with other parts of California, San Diego County landed in the middle with its unadjusted rate of 4.1 percent.

The rate was 4.5 percent in Los Angeles County, 3.7 percent in Orange County, 3.4 percent in San Francisco County, 3.8 percent in Santa Clara County, 6.7 percent in Santa Cruz County and 4.9 percent in Riverside County.

What’s New for 2024 at the Padres’ Petco Park 

The San Diego Padres are celebrating the 20 th anniversary of Petco Park in 2024 — and doing it in a big way, with the exciting expansion and transformation of the ballpark’s popular Gallagher Square plus a host of other new amenities.

All this action comes amid continuing praise for the Downtown ballpark: Petco Park has been deemed the best MLB park in America by USA Today, and average home attendance ranks second out of 30 major-league teams. 

Here’s a rundown of all the great new things to look for at the ballpark in 2024: 

Petco Park’s Gallagher Square Enhancements 

• An expanded kids’ playground and play area, designed to accommodate a wider range of ages and abilities. The centerpiece is a soaring, 35-foot-tall baseball bat made of steel and wood. 
• A fenced, off-leash dog park, in partnership with Petco, the ballpark’s namesake. 
• An improved Play Ball Field, the mini-baseball field for kids. 
• Newly installed pickleball courts. 
• The Tony Gwynn Terrace viewing deck and picnic space. 
• A general reconfiguration of Gallagher Square to keep portions of the park open for public use more frequently. 

Improved Petco Park Gameday and Events Experience 

• Gallagher Square’s statue of the beloved “Mr. Padre,” the late Tony Gwynn, has been elevated and surrounded by an expanded viewing deck, and the area serves as a picnic space during public hours. 
• The Tony Gwynn Terrace, home to the statue, has picnic tables for additional seating, along with a Tony Gwynn Deck Tower that houses a new food and beverage space and videoboard. In the Tony Gwynn Tunnel beneath the space, fans can see and hear all about the amazing life and career of Mr. Padre. An additional Padres retail and food/beverage space has been installed on the ground level next to the tunnel. 
• The project brings a new and expanded fan entry gate (the Balboa Gate) to Ninth Avenue and J Street for improved flow and shorter wait times, along with leveled and tiered lawn seating in Gallagher Square, where tickets are more affordable than other fixed seating areas within the ballpark. 

Gallagher Square in HD 

A new, state-of-the-art videoboard at the Sycuan Stage spans the entire back of the “batter’s eye.” The board measures 73 feet wide by 21 feet tall and uses 6mm of HD product by Daktronics, with amazing resolution and unmatched clarity. The new videoboard can include the scoreboard lineup and player statistics for the first time. Two additional videoboards measuring 16 feet by 9 feet have been installed so fans can keep up with game action while enjoying Gallagher Square. 

Planet-friendly Design Elements 

The renovation has created a more sustainable space by incorporating: 

• Turf to replace some of the grass, enhancing the overall aesthetic and significantly reducing water and resodding needs while maintaining grass on a large portion of picnic hill. 
• Native trees and vegetation planted throughout. 

Cutwater Agave Club 

Located down the left-field line on the Terrace level, the Cutwater Agave Club is Petco Park’s newest premium seating area. This private space and multimillion-dollar project features luxury finishes, access to food and beverages, private restrooms and a variety of seating configurations. 

The club, whose namesake is the hugely popular San Diego company Cutwater Spirits , is in a space formerly occupied by The Still. Seats in the Cutwater Agave Club sections are limited to Platinum Padres Membership holders, but those who aren’t members can still order drinks at a new walk-up bar on the club’s exterior. 

Home Plates: Awesome New Food and Beverage Options 

Petco Park’s lineup of great bites and beverages gets some new additions for this 20 th anniversary season, including several vendors making their debuts in the Mercado, located on the Main Concourse behind Home Plate. They include Gelati & Peccati, part of the Buona Forchetta family of companies; An’s Gelato, the newest branch of the beloved An’s Dry Cleaning ice cream purveyors; and a second San Diego’s Finest Hot Chicken location, home to the fan- favorite “Hot Hen” chicken sandwich. 

Other newcomers elsewhere in the ballpark include Spiro’s Mediterranean Cuisine, with fresh Mediterranean food, and a new frozen drink concept created by Delaware North called the “Frozen Friar,” with flavors including Mangonada, Island Punch and Strawberry Lemonade, available with alcohol or in a kid-friendly option. 

And joining Petco Park’s Craft Beers of San Diego program are Nova Brazil Kombucha and WestBrew , which will be available at Craft Row on the Main Concourse located behind home plate. Fans can also look forward to Ballast Point ’s new limited-edition Anniversary Two-Pack, featuring the Swingin’ Friar Ale and a co-branded koozie.

The Latest Padres Gear 

Fans will have even more options to show their Padres spirit in 2024 with a variety of new offerings at Petco Park, including 20 th -anniversary gear, Korea Series hats, Padres-branded SunGod eyewear and more. A new clothing line created in collaboration with the wives and girlfriends of Padres players and a new retail partnership with Salty Crew are set to debut at the ballpark later this year, while Padres City Connect gear will continue to be available all season long.
