Employment growth in the San Francisco Bay Area has not been stymied by snowfall. Oh, yeah, we didn’t have any. The Bay Area saw strong growth in the labor force and employment in February. The statewide figures are not comforting as employment fell on both seasonally and non-seasonally adjusted bases. Without the nine San Francisco Bay Area counties the state would look pretty weak… but we knew that already! (See the Bay Area Employment Trends Page above for the latest table.)
