New jobs may draw new residents, and when there is high demand for housing <br />relative to supply, many workers may be unable to afford to live where they work, particularly <br />where job growth has been in relatively lower wage jobs. This dynamic not only means many <br />workers will need to prepare for long commutes and time spent on the road, but in the aggregate <br />it contributes to traffic congestion and time lost for all road users. <br />If there are more jobs than employed residents, it means a city is relatively jobs -rich, typically also <br />with a high jobs -to -household ratio. The jobs -household ratio in Pleasanton has decreased from <br />2.86 in 2002, to 2.6 jobs per household in 2018 (see Figure A-9)3. Pleasanton's jobs -household <br />ratio is higher than both Alameda County and the region, suggesting the city has a higher <br />concentration of jobs relative to the rest of the Bay Area. Furthermore, only eight percent of people <br />who work in Pleasanton also live in Pleasanton'. <br />3 The ratio of jobs to housing has tracked with the overall number of jobs in the city, being at its lowest during the Great <br />Recession, and rising over more recent years, although still reflecting an improved balance since 2002. <br />4 Longitudinal Employer -Household Dynamics (LEHD), OnTheMap, 2018. <br />A-12 1 City of Pleasanton Housing Needs Assessment <br />
