Orange County is planning to win the best jobs possible for its residents, especially its high school and college graduates.
Jobs are key to the county’s economic success, according to County Executive Steve Neuhaus. The population is skewed toward millennials and Gen-Xers, with more young people in the population than the older generation.
The county has been holding its own when compared to 2014 national indicators, according to Sperling’s bestplaces.net. At 5.20 percent, county unemployment was a full percentage point below the national average.
Neuhaus pledged 1,000 jobs in 1,000 days and he said he's already surpassed that goal.
