Since Q2 2008 the San Diego economy has experienced one of its most severe recessions since the 1930s. In 21 months, the region lost more than 116,400 jobs and unemployment spiked to 11%. The impact on technology employment has not been as nearly pronounced as the recession’s overall effect. Technology employment between Q2 2008 and Q1 2010 has fallen only 2.6% (3,600 jobs).
