San Francisco Job Market

San Francisco and nearby Marin county have two of the lowest state unemployment rates.  Both are currently slightly above 10%, but this is quite low considering the rest of the state falls into the low teens and cities like Los Angeles and San Diego are much higher as well.  The fact the San Francisco’s unemployment rate is relatively low can be owed to the fact that the city’s economy is extremely diverse and has been able to show resiliency in nearly every other major economic recession or depression.  The city’s banking and trade influences as well as the fact that it is a major educational hub help to buoy San Francisco’s numbers a bit.  Tourism, which has been a major pillar of economic strength for the city has also helped keep tens of thousands of jobs in the Bay Area.  The industry still remains strong, thanks to the city’s presence in numerous films, songs, and books worldwide.[img_assist|nid=28006|title=San Francisco|desc=|link=popup|align=left|wid
