In an otherwise slow news day in this blawg's focal area, I found this interesting study:
California cities with best wage growth (nationwide):
(4) Santa Cruz
(6) San Luis Obispo
(10) San Francisco-Oakland.
California cities with worst wage growth:
(4) Stockton
(5) Modesto
(6) San Bernardino
(8) Bakersfield
This is an interesting study, but it would be interesting to see, assuming that inflation is otherwise equal nationwide, whether these wage trends beat the real estate market.
