Bay Area and California job markets bounce back with October gains

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:58:56 GMT

The Bay Area posted job gains during October, an upswing that helped the nine-county region snap a string of job losses, a new government report released Friday shows.Despite the improvement, the job gains in the Bay Area in October remain well below the robust pace of employment increases that the region achieved in the first half of this year.The Bay Area added 3,300 jobs in October — but the increase was fueled mainly by gains in the San Francisco-San Mateo region, the report shows. The South Bay and the East Bay both suffered job losses last month.The South Bay lost 400 jobs, the East Bay shed 500 positions, and the San Francisco-San Mateo region gained 4,000 jobs.

Analysis: What America’s shoplifting panic is really about

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:58:56 GMT

Analysis by Nathaniel Meyersohn | CNNNew York — “Shoplifting in Great Department Stores.” “The Shoplifting Profession.” “No Mercy to Shoplifters.”These headlines could be from articles today. But they’re from the early 1900s.While shoplifting has seemingly never been a bigger problem than it is now, shoplifting has long captured the public’s attention. Anxiety over shoplifting is an enduring phenomenon and is often a stand-in for larger concerns of cultural, economic or political changes.“The figure of a shoplifter may provide for a scapegoat for deeper problems that are more complex and intractable,” James Walsh, who directs the University of Ontario Institute of Technology’s graduate program on criminology and justice, told CNN. “It resonates with broader concerns about law and disorder.”In 19th century Victorian Britain, hysteria focused on middle-class women, who were accessing public spaces for the first time. Some were stealing for the thrill. These fears of women stealing con...
