Since 1990, inland California counties have contributed five times the job growth as coastal counties. Southern California's Riverside and San Bernardino counties accounted for 510,000 of the 1.1 million jobs added by the inland regions.
As California's population growth has shifted inland, so too have the jobs, this according to the nonprofit California Budget Project, a Sacramento-based research organization.
Between 1990 and 2005, California's "inland" counties -- from Placer, Madera and Sacramento in the the north to Riverside and San Bernardino in the south -- accounted for 46% of California's total job growth, adding nearly five times the number of jobs as did the coastal regions.
"It's a dramatic shift in jobs," said Jean Ross, executive director of the project. "As people moved inland, the jobs followed the workforce."
John Husing, president of the Redlands-based consulting firm Economics and Politics Inc., said Riverside and the Ontario area now offer about 1.2 to 1.5 jobs per household, about the same as Orange County.
