No one ever said California was cheap and Fresno is no different having a 9 percent higher cost of living rate than the national average. At least there won’t be a ton of time being spent going to grab that paycheck since the commute time is 23 minutes, and below the national average. Then again, the roads may have cleared up a bit due to the unemployment rate nearly doubling that of the national average at 17.30 percent.
