OC job engine keeps firing--all pistons--just not the eight-cylinder engine power we've enjoyed in past expansions. From professional services to construction, from leisure and hospitality to education, all important sectors saw job growth in February 2015. OC's unadjusted rate of 4.6% unemployment is back to being enviable by most state and national standards. In a coming segment of Chapman Business Report we look for canaries in the coal mine both here and across the nation.

Thanks President Doti and Chapman University's Office of the President for your Summer Reading List! Many of these items can be found in the Leatherby Libraries. For instance, this one: "As for nonfiction, a book that really changed my views on public policy is Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson. In addition to being a provocative book with an important message, it’s also fast-paced and reads like a mystery." Found in the McNaughton collection (behind the reference desk), Leatherby Libraries, first floor.
