Led by strong hiring in areas such as retail and hospitality, the Coachella Valley and the rest of the inland Riverside-San Bernardino county region continued to see low unemployment rates in December.
The valley's overall jobless rate of 4.2 percent came in lower than Riverside County's 4.6 percent, California's 4.8 percent and the nation's 4.5 percent, according to figures released Friday by the state Employment Development Department.
Individual valley communities saw their unemployment rates tick up slightly from year-ago levels, but all saw drops from November.
