I am planning to transfer to UCR's business admin program or UCI's business economics program. Business is what I want to work in, but the thing that is holding me back from deciding is the rankings. Although I don't want to become an econ major, I feel that UCI's higher ranks will help me land a job easier after graduation.
How important are college rankings for jobs? Does anybody know what the rankings for UCR's business admin program is?

Irvine's rankings are decidedly better than riverside's. But think long term. If you are only going for your bachelor degree, the college you are graduating from is far more important than just what individual ranking are.
There are people who graduated in one major, but worked in another area. In current day society, people are bound to change careers. The ranking for the college is short term. The ranking of the school overall, however, will last for quite a long time. A good graduate school coupled with work experience will land you some of the best business jobs out there.
But your problem is that Econ is a social science while business is a business school one. It doensn't matter. Companies don't look that detailed in what major you chose. People may choose a biology major for finance because of their analyzation skill used in biology etc. It doen't matter, so longs you have the passion to pursue your dream.
I would recommend UCI

People who go to better schools are usually able to get better jobs. If you are talking about a UC school versus a CSU school, then the difference can be great. But the difference in rankings between UCR and UCI is not as great. There may be a marginal benefit to going to the higher ranked school. Remember -- UCR may be the lowest rated of the UC schools -- but half the states in the nation don't have a university ranked as high.

Partially.
If you fail in Harvard and pass in the local community college, it's highly likely the community college version of you would get the job.
Recognize that while school name and reputation can count for some of the jobs out there, oftentimes it's your presence, your display, and grasp of a topic and job that will get you the position. Oftentimes, this is what really happens at schools with better reputations - they prepare you for encounters better! It's not necessarily what you know - you can learn equal amounts at both institutions, it's a question of your drive to learn and your presentation and soft skills when communicating with the interviewers. A good resume is key, too. Objective oriented, with a strong solver mentality (I increased research grants of a research project by 100% or similar) rather than general statements of skill (I can write research grants).

UCR is a bad school and it will be wayyyy harder to transfer out of UCR and if you come in with that mentality you will do very poorly. I say go to a ccc. It the same with csu to uc transfer

Not much
Now Harvard, you're talking. Columbia. NYU, even UCLA.
