INLAND EMPIRE – (INT) – The region’s robust job growth eased slightly during August.

But, Johannes Moenius at the University of Redlands School of Business sees a bright fourth quarter especially with the holidays coming up.

“We expect the trend to continue around the same pace of the last couple of months. It could be 3 percent and higher on an annual basis, but there are some risk factors built into this.”

No areas of the Inland Empire were shedding jobs during August, according to the U of R study.
