The Humboldt Labor Market Forecast: Skinny, With a Good Chance of Success
Michael Kraft

I’ve heard lots of mean things said about Humboldt’s labor market. No jobs. No good jobs. No good candidates. No work ethic. No one can pass the drug test.

There are truths undergirding these pronouncements, in my view, but the pronouncements themselves are unfair. There are indeed jobs, good jobs, and good candidates with a work ethic. Some can even pass the drug test, and lots pass the drug test if you can (ahem) ignore that one local favorite. (“Want a job? Drink beer!” as my old boss used to say.)

An accurate thing that you can say about the Humboldt job market, for both employers and job-seekers, is that it is thin. If you have a particular set of skills, a la Liam Neeson, you may or may not be able to deploy them. As an actual rocket scientist, maybe never. As someone else, maybe not right now. And, on the employer end, if you are seeking a rocket scientist, there may not be one available for hire locally right now.

At Sequoia, we badly need some candidates: good laborers, certain engineers, lots of administrative folks with bookkeeping skills and medical office/assistants, and a forester, for example. You’ll always find our jobs just to the right of this column, here on Loco Jobs.

As the long list of jobs on this page indicates, it’s a good time to be looking for a new position right now. So if you’ve been putting up with a bad boss, or if you’re worth more money, or you just need a change, make yourself known. Book an interview with Kris or Tomas by calling our office (707-445-9641).

There are only 130,000 of us here in the county. We’re scrappy and entrepreneurial and lots of other fine things. But the low density means that activity is lower, and that matching opportunities are harder to synch up. This requires more patience and some proactivity from the job seeker, and both of those things and perhaps some extra guts from the employer.
