The San Francisco-San Mateo-Redwood City Metroplex is a huge combination metro area in Northern California, located around San Francisco Bay in the counties of San Mateo, San Francisco, and Marin.

California was hit with some large job losses in 2008 - 2009, but even on March 28, 2009, Indeed.com listed 39,800+ job openings within 25 miles of San Francisco. While jobs are available, competition may remain keen through 2012. On the other hand, many states are benefiting from the the 2009 Stimulus Package that has included provisions for new jobs and workforce training dollars to the individual states, passed on down to the counties. A total of 396,000 jobs are to be secured or saved in California by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act by 2011 alone. See also the state site at: http://www.recovery.ca.gov/.

At the end of February 2009, the unemployment rate in this metro area ran just above the national average of 7.6%, but there were still 1000s of job openings in the three counties associated with the area: Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo. The first job listings increases after the Stimulas Bill was passed coincidentally included only two sectors; Healthcare and Education.

Once colonized and owned by the Spanish conquistadores and explorers, Southern California was opened to other settlers during the 1849 Gold Rush and grew quickly with the advance of the railroad. Situated n a large bay at the Pacific Ocean, San Francisco also became a major sea port for commercial travel and freight, lining California with the Far East, Southeast Asia, and Oceana.

The City of San Francisco is large by itself, having undergone the turbulent tomes of the 1960s - 1970s and survived the odysseys and tragedies of the Haight-Ashbury District. The wonderland of freedom and free love for teens and young adults that fled the conservative establishment of other parts of America became a pit of perversion and drug-related deaths and lost its glamour in a matter of months.

Urban renewal followed in the 1980s - 1990s and the local government placed more energy into the city's economic planning organization to ensure continued growth into the 21st Century. By the end of 2007, 800,000 individuals were recorded by census figures in the full metro area.

The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency had actually been founded in 1948 and remained active into the 2010s to ensure job and business growth.
