Modoc County, being a very remote area with limited job opportunities, has now reached an 8.3% jobless rate.  The same time last year our jobless rate was 6.5%.  In September 2007 we had a labor pool of 4,110 with 270 unemployed.  This year we had a labor pool of 4020 with 330 unemployed.

So, if you're moving to Modoc County, where are the job opportunities?  Major employers are city and county government, Bureau of Land Management, Forestry Service, and schools. 

You could also do what many other have done here -- find a need and fill it.  Become an entrepreneur.  I've found that drive and determination can outdo any jobless rate data.
