The 9-County San Francisco Bay Area – Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma counties – occupies 5% of California’s land area, but is home to 20% of California’s population. The SF Bay Area provides one in five of the payroll jobs in California, and almost 1/3 of the state of California’s income tax revenue. Despite the recession that cost the San Francisco Bay Area more than 300,000 jobs from 2001 through 2004, household incomes remain higher than the state average.

Payroll employment began to grow in the 4^th quarter of 2004, and as of January 2006, the SF Bay Area was home to 3.23 million payroll jobs, up 1.8% from a year earlier.
