The county’s unemployment rate leaped to 6.8 percent in February, up from 5.4 percent in December, according to the most recent figures at the state Employment Development Department. That’s still the lowest of any county in California, and far below the state’s overall jobless rate of 10.5 percent. But it’s not expected to go down soon.
