Unemployment<\/h3>\n

According to State of California\u2019s Employment Development Department, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of 5.6% in Los Angeles County declined by 0.2% between January and February 2016. This is below the 7.5% rate from 2015. And in Ventura County, the most recent unemployment rate is calculated to be 5.3%, lower than Santa Barbara County\u2019s rate of 5.6%.<\/p>\n

Hunger<\/h3>\n

According to current Los Angeles Regional Food Bank\u2019s report, 1,400,000 people (16%) in Los Angeles County are affected by hunger. Hunger affects old and young alike. While fixed-income seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income families are the most visible examples of people who struggle, hunger doesn\u2019t stop there. Hunger affects all groups of people regardless of education level, employment status or ethnicity. Due to the soaring costs of both housing and transportation in Los Angeles County, many people who work, even families with two incomes, often cannot make ends meet or put enough healthy food on the table.<\/p>\n
