<br />Regional Economy
<br />The local economy has declined in recent fiscal years. This is due to many factors that continue to
<br />impact the City. The increase of unemployment, decline in consumer confidence and the decline in sales tax are
<br />factors that have had a negative impact to the City. The unemployment rate for the City of Santa Ana is %.
<br />As of 2013 general fund revenues have decreased by %. Despite the decrease in general farad revenues, the
<br />City continues to support the governmental activities of the City. This has been accomplished by adjusting the
<br />budget policy that was approved by City Council.
<br />It is impossible to predict whether or not the economic situation will decline further or when recovery
<br />may be anticipated. For the City the primary decline is in sales tax, however other revenue is also being affected
<br />by the weak economy. Close attention to the economy and the State Budget are critical and adjustments may be
<br />necessary in the future. At this point in time, no major cuts in programs and services are needed.
