The Bay Area posted sturdy job gains during May and appears to have banished — for now — the region’s feeble stretch for hiring during the early part of this year, a government report released Friday shows.The nine-county region added 10,400 jobs in May, which was slightly fewer than the 12,400 positions the Bay Area gained in April, according to the new government release.Still, the job gains in the Bay Area last month were a big improvement over the loss of 4,400 jobs that the region suffered in March.The East Bay led the upswing in jobs during May by adding 4,700 positions. The San Francisco-San Mateo region added 3,600 jobs. The Santa Clara County area added 1,400 jobs in May. All of the numbers were adjusted for seasonal volatility.The employment upswing in May for the Bay Area offers a welcome counterpoint to the forbidding landscape of massive tech industry layoffs in the region during 2022 and so far in 2023.California added 47,300 jobs in May.

Virginia’s Democratic Party Is Letting Energy Money Back In

Published Sun, 10 Nov 2024 23:12:48 GMT

In 2017, Virginia Democrats tried something new. Politicians from the party stopped accepting large-dollar contributions from the state’s most powerful energy company. A slew of upstart candidates running in competitive Democratic primaries also swore off money from Dominion Energy, which had long donated huge sums of money to both parties and used a powerful lobbying apparatus to loosen legislative regulations and enrich its executives.In 2019, the state party made its decision official. That year, Democratic candidates who rejected Dominion money helped flip seven competitive seats, and the party won control of both chambers for the first time since 1994.Next week, Virginia voters will vote in open primary races in which support for — and from — Dominion is again playing an outsized role. While the Democratic Party no longer accepts large contributions from the energy company, individual candidates and caucuses still do. Populist candidates are challenging corporate-friendly Democ...
