Hi, I am Tim Johnson and welcome to the California Business Minute.

Forbes.com has released their annual rankings of the best and worst cities
for jobs. 

Joel Kotkin of Orange County’s Chapman University is principle of the rankings. 
Of key note he identified that this year, three California regions--Oakland,
Sacramento and San Bernardino-Riverside--have sunk down into the bottom 10 on
the large cities list, - ”That's a phenomenon we've never seen before--and
never expected to see,” said Kotkin.
