On Dec. 4 I had responded to a post by somebody else in Southern California about the growing number of notaries. On that date there were 965 members on this board within 20 miles of me and 1657 within 30 miles of me.
On February 7 there were now 1073 within 20 miles of me and 1845 within 30 miles.
Now on April 5 there are 1176 within 20 miles of me and 2022 within 30 miles of me.
That's a 22% increase in the number of notaries in 4 months. Between the slowdown in the home loan market, the ridiculous rate of new notaries, and the alarming increase in frequency of posts on this board talking about which company has cut its rates, I'm beginning to think it's time to jump off this sinking ship. Unless something drastically changes in the industry, there is no way this is going to be a viable career option in Southern California within the next few years.
