The Census Bureau defines Hispanic/Latinx ethnicity separate from racial categories. For the purposes of this graph, the "Hispanic or Latinx" racial/ethnic group represents those who identify as having Hispanic/Latinx ethnicity and may also be members of any racial group. All other racial categories on this graph represent those who identify with that racial category and do not identify with Hispanic/Latinx ethnicity.

Conversely, a city may have job sites that employ residents from the same city, but more often employ workers commuting into the city. Smaller cities typically will have more employed residents than jobs and export workers, while larger cities tend to have a surplus of jobs and import workers. To some extent the regional transportation system is set up to accommodate this flow of workers to the region's core job centers. At the same time, as the housing affordability crisis has illustrated, local imbalances may be severe, where local jobs and worker populations are out of sync at a sub -regional scale. One measure of this is the relationship between workers and jobs. A city with a surplus of workers "exports" workers to other parts of the region, while a city with a surplus of jobs must conversely "import" workers. Between 2002 and 2018, the number of jobs in Pleasanton increased by 2.4 percent overall (see Figure A-6). However, during this period the city saw a steep decline during the Great Recession, since which the number of jobs in Pleasanton has risen back to (and now slightly exceeds) pre -Recession levels Housing Needs Assessment City of Pleasanton I A-9
