“ The cost of higher education has surged more than 538 % since 1985. In comparison, medical costs have jumped more than 286% while the consumer price index has jumped 121%.” (reported in https://www.bestvalueschools.com/understanding-the-rising-costs-of-higher-education/ )

“California’s unemployment rate was 4.1% in November, the latest data available from the Employment Development Department.
