A note on progress from OUR Senior Director
In 2018, EDC and a steering committee of the region’s largest employers determined that for our region to continue to grow and remain competitive, by 2030, San Diego will need:
- 50,000 quality jobs in small businesses,
- 20,000 skilled workers per year, and
- 75,000 newly thriving households.
However, to do so, inclusion needs to be our focus. To achieve these goals, we must invest in and support the segments of our community that have been historically and systemically excluded from growth and prosperity—not simply because it’s the right thing to do, but because it’s an economic imperative.
By the numbers
- 40 regional leaders convened for EDC retreat
- 4% unemployment rate in San Diego County
- 16.5K San Diego payroll positions added in Jan, Feb
- 20% increase in pre-pandemic employment in Scientific R&D
