Since paid sick days for San Francisco employees became mandatory in February 2007, percentage growth in civilian employment growth exceeded the average growth for the surrounding California counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo and Santa Clara, according to a fact sheet from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research.

This increase represents a civilian employment growth by 4.5 percent, versus 0.4 percent in surrounding counties, between 2007 and 2008.
