http://finance.yahoo.com/real-estat...ities-Seeing-at-Least-15-Percent-Unemployment El Centro, Calif., is again at the top of the list, as unemployment there hit a jaw-dropping 25% in March. The next highest rates were recorded in Merced, Calif., and Yuba City, Calif., each with about 20% unemployment, and beleaguered manufacturing city Elkhart-Goshen, Indiana, at about 19%. In total, 18 U.S. metro areas now have unemployment rates of 15% or more. 12 of the top 18 cities are in California. I am not surprised by it. It is very sad.
