The tech boom that has ignited Silicon Valley’s economy added 64,000 new jobs to sectors across the region in 2015–but a few sectors are losing jobs, according to a new survey.
Three sectors lost more than 5% of their overall number of workers: Information-technology repair, nonprofits, and telecom manufacturing and services, according to a regional study by Joint Venture Silicon Valley. They lost more than 4,000 jobs last year, despite the region adding more jobs in 2015 than in any year since 2000, the regional think tank said.
