The unemployment news of major employers is headline news and easy to find. The signs of employment will always be harder to see as they are found in the entrepreneurial start ups in small office parks throughout the region.[/quote]Agreed, but the startup space still seems pretty rough at the moment. I only know of the VCs that I know of, but that particular group still seems pretty beholden to the now one-year old Sequoia Capital Death Spiral slideshow. From what I hear, many are making another pass through their portfolio companies looking for addtional “efficiencies”.
VCs aren’t the only source of funding for startups, of course, but they do provide the larger pools, and funding equals jobs. Plenty of folks might be bootstrapping their own companies and it even probably more prevalent right now, but that requires a longer cycle to provide much in the way of job creation.
