Robert Half talent agencyHeather Johnston, regional president, Robert Half By Jason Middleton If, and only if, the war for top tier talent ever cools off in the Bay Area it will be because other areas of the country have been able to lure away said top tier talent. And some new numbers are creeping up from a top tier talent placement agency that show skilled workers are more and more willing to relocate OUT of the Bay Area - and not only because it's pricey to live here. First, a tight Bay Area labor market: San Francisco unemployment rate is at a record low of 2.1% (California: 4.1%) for the month of Nov. 2018.  That means the war for talent gets expensive for companies, too. Now pair that data point with this: 64% of San Francisco professionals said they would relocate for a job.  Robert Half is a talent placement agency that handles both ends of the battle for good, skilled workers - from designers to engineers to C-level officers.  Please click through on any of these links for more information, as well as our show page, Facebook page or follow me on the Twitter. The podcasts also live on iTunes and Stitcher. Have great weeks, everybody. --30--
