Wayne Lusvardi of Calwatch: The gleaming high-tech companies of San Francisco and Silicon Valley now are California’s face to the world — even more than Hollywood.Did they mention Fresno just to get a plug from this minor blog? I am getting paranoid!
But — surprise! — an updated Brookings Institution study found the inland metropolitan areas of California beat out the upscale coastal cities in the Bay Area and Silicon Valley for overall economic growth in 2013-14.
What most Californians hear and read in the media is the cities of San Francisco and San Jose are leading the jobs recovery in California, with the inland areas still mired in recession. And indeed those two cities are doing well.
But when measured at the level of Metropolitan Statistical Areas, Fresno, Sacramento and Riverside were ranked higher in combined positive change in employment and Gross Domestic Product growth per person for 2013-2014.
