One of the reasons businesses and residents are attracted to the San Ramon Valley is the quality of our public schools. I find it impressive that nearly 80 percent of students at Dougherty Valley High School who took the SAT in 2010 scored above a 1500! Eighty percent!
San Ramon is faring better than most communities when it comes to unemployment. Despite a small creep upwards in July from 4.3 to 4.6 percent, San Ramon has one of the lowest unemployment rates in our area and is lower than Danville, Concord and Walnut Creek. Alameda and Contra Costa Country combined have an unemployment rate of 11 percent, which shows an improvement over last year's number at this time which was 11.6 percent. With statewide unemployment at 12.4% and the national rate at 9.2%, San Ramon is fortunate to have most of our residents hard at work and contributing to the economic recovery.
As the economy begins to recover, a brood of incubators is hatching, luring entrepreneurs and small businesses hoping to create the major companies of tomorrow. The newest incubators offer more than space for up and comers. They also offer collaboration with other incubator occupants. Sharing knowledge and resosurces, the companies may grow faster than they would on their own. In Oakland, the 25th Street Collective opened late last year to house fashion and design companies and promote sustainable business practices.
