Web Guides

BAY AREA LABOR-ECONOMIC DIGITAL DIRECTORY

This guide is intended as a resource for social science researchers interested in the San Francisco Bay Area. It provides a review of data sources, useful internet sites, and other resources available both at UC Berkeley and in the broader community. The focus is on Bay Area specific resources. However, most sources of information are not organized on a regional scale. For instance, most government data sources are collected either at a local level (city or county), or at a state or federal level, rather than by region. Similarly, much private sector information is organized by industry sector or by company, rather than by region. Therefore, much of the information presented here is not specific to the San Francisco Bay Area. However, where possible we have tried to highlight the most useful sources for regional analysis.

Obviously the quantity of resources available on the web is increasing at an exponential rate, while the quality of resources is increasing as well, though at a somewhat slower pace. We greatly appreciate any and all feedback, both on the usefulness of resources listed here, as well as on useful resources and sites we may have missed.



Bay Area Research Reports on the Web

The resources listed in this section are reports that summarize economic trends in the San Francisco Bay Area. They provide a general overview of the regional economy, emerging growth centers and employment trends.

    The San Francisco Bay Area: Emergence of a New Economy
    Published in September 1995 by PG&E, this report provides an overview of the Bay Area economy, major emerging industry clusters, demographic trends, and the rise of information technologies in Silicon Valley

    This report, commissioned by a state-wide strategic planning body, highlights major trends in the Bay Area economy. The study includes up to 1995, and highlights job growth and decline, wage trends, sectoral employment, and employment concentration. It also provides a more detailed analysis of the environmental technologies and multi-media industries in the Bay Area.

    Joint Venture Silicon Valley's Index of Silicon Valley
    This annual research report highlights key indicators of economic change and change in quality of life. It tends towards issues of concern to the high-tech industries in the area and lacks many key social and demographic indicators, but is a useful source of information nonetheless.

Primary Data Sources on the Web

The following links are all sources of primary data about the Bay Area, including labor market information, economy & business, demographics, housing, and information on government agencies. This section is the core of this research guide, and provides links to most of the major sources of government and private sector data on the Bay Area.

Association of Bay Area Governments Data Center
This is the best place to start for data on the Bay Area. Data that is available from this site includes:

  • Population and Demographic Characteristics , with current and historical demographic characteristics, and summaries available for the entire 9-county area, by city, or by county.
  • Jobs, output and trade data , including a broad Bay Area Economic Indicator, and data on employment, unemployment and the sectoral composition of the workforce.
  • Real estate and housing data , including the sales price of new Bay Area homes, and building permit data.
  • Bay Area Retail Activity which also includes trends in consumer prices and the Bay Area Consumer Price Index.
The ABAG Data Center also has links to a variety of other data sources, including those with education, demographic and health statistics. ABAG's library is also a good source of information on government planning documents.

State of California, Employment Development Department Labor Market Information Division

The LMID is the primary source of government data on industry and occupational employment. They also provide some information on wages in particular occupations. The data is compiled from the Current Population Survey, payroll data filed with the EDD, and time-series models. There is historical data, as well as the most recently available data on unemployment, and employment by industry and occupation, as well as projections of future employment. The web site also makes available certain demographic data from the 1990 census in a useful form. The data is well organized, and is available by the entire state, by County or by Metropolitan Statistical Area. They do not have summary tables of the entire 9-county Bay Area. There is some written analysis of the data, in addition to the original numbers. The LMID also coordinates the California Cooperative Occupational Information System, a partnership of state and local agencies that produces local occupational and labor market information, and provides projections of occupational outlook in the future.

California Department of Finance
The DOF provides detailed statistics at both a State and County level. This includes information on the State Budget and monthly finance bulletins which provide summaries of economic trends and tax revenues.

  • Labor force and employment by industry;
  • Income and sales;
  • Imports and exports by customs districts;
  • Housing stock and residential/nonresidential construction;

  • Area, Geography and Climate
  • Population

It provides a useful collection of links related to California's economy, labor markets, and various service providers. Their collection of links and information on the California economy is a useful collections of government data sources, though not exclusively on the San Francisco Bay Area.

Regional Economic Information Service

It is also somewhat difficult to transfer to disk for personal use, since it only allows the transfer of 75 listings at a time. Nonetheless, it is useful for finding companies within any particular industry or region. The database is searchable by SIC Code, by geography (City, State, County, Zip Code), by employment size, by sales, and by company name.

(e.g. only 276 in the 408 area code, 263 in the 415 area code and only 131 in the 510 area code.) Nonetheless, it is extremely useful for researching major public companies in the area.

    U.S. Census

    USA County Statistics (LAN)
