While the Bay Area continues to be home to many fast-growing firms in social media and the Internet, the broader “information” sector accounts for less than 4 percent of jobs across the region. What does the rest of the Bay Area do for a living, and how do we better plan at the regional level for economic development as 850,000 of us cross a county boundary each day to get to work? Join us for a presentation of the just-released Bay Area Economic Development Plan from Jon Haveman, the Bay Area Council Economic Institute’s chief economist.
