2. Updated Forecast Conditions Jobs-Housing Balance As a region, the Tri-Valley has, and is forecast to keep, a balance between jobs and em- ployed residents. As Table 2 shows, the Tri-Valley had roughly one job for each worker that lived there in 1990 and will have one job for each resident worker in 2000, 2010 and 2020 as well. While the Tri-Valley as a whole has reached a jobs-housing balance, not every area within it is balanced. Some jurisdictions, such as San Ramon and Dublin, have more jobs than workers; other areas, such as Oanville and Alamo-Blackhawk, ha"e more employed residents than jobs.

Many of these workers commute to the Silicon Valley and San Francisco where jobs far outnumber the number of employed residents. 18 April 2000 Page 7
