Last month, San Diego once again enjoyed a robust rate of employment growth outside of the housing boom beneficiary industries . Excluding the construction, retail, and finance/real estate sectors, the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that San Diego added 19,900 jobs between February 2006 and February 2007. The non-housing boom sectors grew by a healthy 2.1 percent.
However, the housing boom sectors continue to drag down overall employment growth at an increasing pace.
