We’ve extended a four-year streak of job growth, we are among the highest income regions in the country, and we have the biggest share of the nation’s high-growth, high-wage sectors. Our innovation engine is driving this prodigious growth. Once again we registered more patents than any previous year, increased our share of venture capital and angel investment, saw more IPOs emanating from our region, and have large and growing shares of merger and acquisition activity. By just about any measure our performance is remarkable, and it leads the nation. So why does the Index also make us feel uneasy? There are two reasons, at least. One is that growth has its challenges, and despite recent efforts on the housing and transportation fronts, our region is not making enough progress. Our infrastructure isn’t keeping pace with the demand placed upon it, and we haven’t found a way to adequately increase the stock of housing. Though we’re reporting the high- est number of residential units permitted in recent years, it is discouraging that it doesn’t even come close to meeting demand. As a result, housing prices continue to soar, rental expenses outpace income gains, and fewer than half of our first-time homebuyers can afford the median-priced home. Without doubt, Silicon Valley’s success has also made it a less hospitable place. The second reason why the Index is troubling is because our prosperity is not widely shared. It is a story the Index has been telling for many years, but in this 2014 installment the gaps and disparities are more pronounced than ever. These are the hard facts: our income gains are limited to those with ultra high-end skills. Median wages for low- and middle-skilled workers are relatively stagnant and the share of households with mid-level incomes has fallen in Silicon Valley more than in the state and nation. Disparities by race are more persistent than ever. We also saw a sharp increase in homelessness. While job growth is important, it can never be the single measure of our region’s health when it is confined to a limited number of sectors. The ultimate measure is a steady increase in real income, raising the standard of living for all of our residents. Our two organizations are committed to providing analysis and action on these vexing problems, even as we celebrate our region’s incredible dynamism. Sincerely, Russell Hancock, Ph.D. Emmett D. Carson, Ph.D. President & Chief Executive Officer CEO and President Joint Venture Silicon Valley Silicon Valley Community Foundation Silicon Valley Institute for Regional Studies SILICON VALLEY SILICON VALLEY INSTITUTE for REGIONAL STUDIES 3 WHAT IS THE INDEX? The Silicon Valley Index has been telling the Silicon Valley story since 1995. Released early every year, the Index is based on indicators that measure the strength of our economy and the health of our community—highlighting challenges and providing an analytical foundation for leadership and decision making. WHAT IS AN INDICATOR? Indicators are measurements that tell us how we are doing; whether we are going up or down, going forward or backward, getting better or worse, or staying the same. GOOD INDICATORS... • are bellwethers that reflect fundamentals of long-term regional health. 2014 SILICON VALLEY INDEX People Economy • reflect the interests and concerns of the community. Society Place Governance • are statistically measurable on a frequent basis. • measure outcomes, rather than inputs. SILICON VALLEY SILICON VALLEY INSTITUTE for REGIONAL STUDIES Appendix B provides detail on data sources for each indicator. THE SILICON VALLEY INDEX ONLINE The Silicon Valley Index is also available online, with additional data and interactive charts allowing you to further explore the Silicon Valley story. You’ll find all this and more at www.siliconvalleyindex.org. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS PROFILE OF SILICON VALLEY ................................................................................................... 6 2014 INDEX HIGHLIGHTS .......................................................................................................... 8 PEOPLE Talent Flows and Diversity...................................................................................................................10 ECONOMY Employment ......................................................................................................................................14 Income .............................................................................................................................................18 Innovation & Entrepreneurship ............................................................................................................24

  • Sfaa News November 2011 Final
    Volume 22, Number 4 November 2011 SfAA President’s Column By Merrill Eisenberg [[email protected]] University of Arizona he SfAA Board met in Denver on October 15-16, and I am happy to report that all is well with your Society! We are coming up on our T75 th birthday in 2016, but we are nowhere near ready for retirement! In fact, we are very busy planning for “Beyond 75”. We’ve come a long way since our founding in 1941, when, as John Bennett recalled in his SfAA Oral History interview, “…we regarded this as a kind of cult formation. That is, I think our attitude was, ‘Well, so what’s all the fuss about?’ It should be applied, you know; it should have some mix… do Merrill Eisenberg something that has relevance for the world, for… for men, for humans…’” Our first annual meeting was held in 1941 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The entire group of attendees fit into one room and less than 10 papers were presented. Among the presenters were Margaret Mead, William F. Whyte, and Eliot Chapple. Today, the SfAA is almost 3000 members strong. Approximately 10% of our members reside outside of the US, in 47 different countries. Thirty percent of our members are students. Approximately 2000 people attend our meetings in a "good" year and hundreds of papers, presentations, workshops, roundtables and panels are held. We've come a long way from our cultish ancestors! Looking “Beyond 75” we recognize our changing world and what that means for applied social science and for our Society.
