On the flip side other companies are moving here or expanding here. Wish I had some data that captures the net gain or loss for high tech jobs here. Qualcomm seems to have plans to expand based on their opposition to the Miramar site being used as an airport, and they currently have 600+ job openings here in San Diego. Motorola was hiring this past year, and there are more new online job listings for San Diego then any other city in the U.S. Nokia merged with Sanyo (different Sanyo operation that the one mentioned earlier) and they cut some jobs in the merger. Freescale semi opened a lab here (purchased another company) and in the wireless sector everyone seems to be hiring.
