US Nursing: San Jose

Nurses will read that San Jose is growing at a rate that hasn’t been seen since the bubble in 2000. Personal income is up as are employment rates. This phenomenon underlined by the fact that more commercial development has been approved than over the last ten years.

Many senior executives confidently assert that from San Jose to San Francisco this very strong economy is set to continue.

Highlights include:

• 41 percent increase in new jobs. Silicon Valley is growing faster than the Bay Area, faster than San Francisco and faster than California.
• Santa Clara County had the fastest growing population in the state.
• Venture capital investments higher than any other year since 2000.
