Manteca Bulletin - Schools provide 1 in 10 SJ jobs

Manteca Bulletin - Schools provide 1 in 10 SJ jobs:

"Education is big business in San Joaquin County.

Over one out of every 10 jobs in the county during 2008 was in either private or public education. That translates into 23.632 out of the 220,983 private and public sector jobs within the county.

Those jobs also accounted for 11.5 percent of the overall county payroll of $8.6 billion.

The impact of education on the economy in terms of jobs as well as producing a workforce that will attract higher paying employers is detailed in a regional study conducted by the Eberhardt School of Business at the University of Pacific in conjunction with the San Joaquin County Council of Governments."
