Subject: Job Market Tracker December ’15 on behalf of Ben Stone

Dear readers,

Happy New Year! To ring in the New Year we’re releasing the Sonoma County Economic Development Board’s first issue of the Job Market Tracker. The Job Market Tracker is our monthly report analyzing online job postings aggregated from over 25,000 sources to provide real time insights on the Sonoma County labor market. As we continue developing Job Market Tracker in the coming months, the report will also include a series of industry spotlights evaluating job market patterns in local clusters such as in Technology, Creative, Tourism, and Healthcare.

If you have any questions, feedback, or would like to schedule a meeting, we’d love to hear from you! Please do not hesitate to contact Juan Nieto at juan.nieto at sonoma-county.org<mailto:juan.nieto at sonoma-county.org>. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to working closely with our community partners to expand this project in 2016.

>From the JMT team of Sonoma County Economic Development Board – Juan Nieto, Aadhar Chhabra, Brian Marland, Amelia Yim
