Phil Blair, chair of the workforce development board at the San Diego Workforce Partnership, said San Diego’s unemployment rate is at its lowest ever at 3.3%, and the market is in need of good workers. On the other hand, there are 43,000 young people between the ages of 16 and 24 who are neither working nor in school.
