According to David Kelly of the Los Angeles Times, the Inland Empire will continue to be one of the fastest growing regions throughout the state of California. The continuing trend is accredited to buyers looking to get more for their money by avoiding the highly priced coastal areas.

San Bernardino and Riverside counties are projected to grow by one million residents, by the year 2015. One issue that remains a topic of concern is the fact that the Inland Empire is one of the least educated regions in California. Without an increased effort to train and educate much of the workforce to meet employer standards, people working in the region will receive lower annual wages in comparison to the rest of the state’s labor force.

Kelly has conducted an extensive interview with Hans Johnson, director of research for the Public Policy Institute of California, who addresses many aspects pertaining to the future of the Inland Empire. Read the entire interview by clicking here.
