• Galaxy’s Dejan Joveljic approaching another double-digit goal season

  17-05-2024 21:56 via ocregister.com
  
  Dejan Joveljic scored six goals last season and it was looked at as a slump, considering his 2022 season.
  In 2022, his first full season with the Galaxy, he scored 11 goals in 32 games.
  Before the start of this season, Joveljic said he wanted to return to being a double-digit goal scorer. He wouldn’t say a specific number, but he’s certainly on his way.
  With Wednesday’s second-half goal in the 2-2 draw against Minnesota United FC, Joveljic now has seven goals, already eclipsing

• Southern California unemployment dips to 4.3% as 23,000 jobs created in April

  17-05-2024 21:50 via ocregister.com
  
  Southern California’s unemployment rate hit an 11-month low in April.
  My trusty spreadsheet, filled with state job figures for the month, found Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties had a 4.3% unemployment rate compared with 4.8% in the previous month. It’s likely a seasonal dip, as the rate decreased by 0.3 percentage points in April in the pre-pandemic 2015-19 period.
  Consider that April’s rate was the lowest since May 2023, but it’s still higher t

  The angle of this jetty, along with some sand build up next to it, created a unique wave on a south swell.  This wave would eventually become known as the Wedge.
  Little did the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers know at the time that it had helped create the most famous man-made wave on the planet. Nor did it know that this wave would produce a crazy, wild and fearless group of ind
