We gained 50k jobs in the last year, this is a loss for september of which happens every year as temps etc are usually hired again in Nov. > Over the 12 months that ended in September, the Bay Area added 50,400 jobs, a 1.3 percent increase in total payroll jobs during the one-year period. The interesting part is the percentage slow down over the year, which is what requires more thought than headlines about "hammered job losses" that included area-wide growth.
