🌱 More Californians Moving To Brooklyn + Local Job Openings

Happy Tuesday, Brooklyn Heights-DUMBO! I'm Sean Peek, filling in for your usual curator today. Here's everything you need to know about what's happening locally.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny. High: 59 Low: 40.

Here are the top three stories today in Brooklyn Heights-DUMBO:

1. Since the onset of the pandemic, California has lost a significant number of residents who have relocated to New York’s similarly high-cost boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Not only has in-migration declined, with the number of new Californians down in all of the state’s counties between March 2020 and September 2021, but out-migration has also increased by 12 percent. The Bay Area, in particular, is losing residents, as the number of departures increased by 21 percent between March 2020 and September 2021. (Barron's)
2. Unemployment levels remain high, but many local employers throughout Brooklyn Heights-DUMBO are still looking to fill openings on their staff. Whether you're looking for full-time or part-time work, there are plenty of opportunities available. Each week, Patch and ZipRecruiter release a roundup of the latest local jobs currently available.

3. Are you looking for new activities to do in Brooklyn, Dumbo, and New York City now that spring is here? There are many activities to do and New York Family has put together a Spring bucket list made up of a wide variety of things to do that the whole family can enjoy. (New York Family)
