Jobs in El Cerrito, CA

El Cerrito, California

El Cerrito is a commuter town with two BART stations and very few large employers.

The city’s latest financial report shows how few big employers it has. The City of El Cerrito is the largest, with 169 people, and the top employers together account for under 6 percent of the city’s 14,200 workers. Most residents work elsewhere, and the El Cerrito Plaza and El Cerrito del Norte BART stations make that commute easier.

The local jobs are mostly retail, food and care: Safeway, Ross, Marshalls, El Cerrito Honda, Lucky, FatApple’s restaurant, McDonald’s, CVS and Shields Nursing Center, plus the Berkeley Country Club. That makes El Cerrito a practical place for part-time and first jobs close to home, with BART opening up the rest of the East Bay.
