The Bay Area economy added jobs at a sturdy pace in June, raising hopes that the region’s employment picture is turning brighter after being jolted by losses back in March, a new government report released Friday shows.
The nine-county region gained 9,200 jobs in June, powered by robust gains in the Santa Clara County area, federal labor officials reported. After losing jobs in March, the Bay Area has now gained jobs for three consecutive months, although the increase in June was somewhat weaker than the upswing in May.
Plus, the Bay Area produced nearly four out of five of all the jobs added in California during June, the new report shows.
