If you are a current or former tech worker in the SF bay area, then this data may be of particular interest to you. For the more casually interested reader, two items in particular are notable. Slide 15 shows where workers who left high-tech industry went, as a function of what they were doing at the height of the boom. Slide 16 shows that workers who bailed out of high tech have fared poorly, whereas those who stayed in tech jobs have done well. (I found it amusing that the surveyors refer to parts of the Golden State outside the bay area as "ROC".) What is happening to Silicon Valley's talent pool? |
