"The Bay Area managed small job gains during September, while California suffered employment losses that marked the fourth consecutive month of statewide job market setbacks, according to figures posted in a federal labor database. The release of the September jobs information was delayed due to a protracted shutdown of numerous federal government operations, including the timely disclosure of the September figures. Until now, the latest jobs report had covered August."
"The Bay Area gained a relatively puny 500 jobs in September, according to the information posted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Here is how the Bay Area's metro centers fared in September, as measured by changes in nonfarm payroll jobs. All of the statewide and regional numbers were adjusted for seasonal volatility: The South Bay lost 700 jobs. The East Bay gained 700 jobs. The San Francisco-San Mateo metro region added 300 positions."
"The federal statewide and metro figures were listed as preliminary. The state Employment Development Department decided to release its figures on Dec. 12. Despite the job gains for the Bay Area in September, the modest upswing in employment arrived on the heels of four straight months of losses prior to that. From May through August, the Bay Area lost a cumulative 9,200 jobs."
The Bay Area gained 500 jobs in September, a modest increase following prior losses. The South Bay lost 700 jobs while the East Bay gained 700.
