Housing Needs Assessment City of Pleasanton | A-17 <br />In Pleasanton, there was a 3.8 percentage point decrease in the unemployment rate between <br />January 2010 and January 2021. Jurisdictions through the region experienced a sharp rise in <br />unemployment in 2020 due to impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic, though with a general <br />improvement and recovery in the later months of 2020. <br />Figure A-11: Unemployment Rate <br /> <br />Notes: <br />Universe: Civilian employed population age 16 years and over <br />Unemployment rates for the jurisdiction level is derived from larger-geography estimates. This method assumes that the rates of <br />change in employment and unemployment are exactly the same in each sub-county area as at the county level. If this assumption <br />is not true for a specific sub-county area, then the estimates for that area may not be representative of the current economic <br />conditions. Since this assumption is untested, caution should be employed when using these data. Only not seasonally- adjusted <br />labor force (unemployment rates) data are developed for cities and CDPs. <br />Source: ABAG 2021 Pre-certified Housing Needs Data (California Employment Development Department, Local <br />Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS), Sub-county areas monthly updates, 2010-2021) <br /> <br />0% <br />2% <br />4% <br />6% <br />8% <br />10% <br />12% <br />14% <br />16% <br />2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021Pe <br />r <br />c <br />e <br />n <br />t <br /> <br />o <br />f <br /> <br />L <br />a <br />b <br />o <br />r <br /> <br />F <br />o <br />r <br />c <br />e <br /> <br />t <br />h <br />a <br />t <br /> <br />i <br />s <br /> <br />U <br />n <br />e <br />m <br />p <br />l <br />o <br />y <br />e <br />d <br />Pleasanton Alameda County Bay Area
