The Bay Area job market added jobs at a sturdy pace during October, with the region’s three major metro centers all gaining employees, state labor officials reported Friday.

Employers added 5,900 jobs in the Bay Area in October, and the East Bay, South Bay, and San Francisco-San Mateo regions all contributed to the employment surge, according to the state’s Employment Department.

During October, the East Bay added 2,900 jobs, the San Francisco-San Mateo region gained 2,800 positions, while Santa Clara County added 500 jobs, the EDD reported. All the numbers were adjusted for seasonal variations. The job totals in Santa Cruz County were unchanged, according to the EDD report.

California’s jobless rate improved to 3.9 percent during October, setting a new all-time record low for the statewide jobless rate, according to the EDD report. California added 23,600 non-farm payroll jobs in October.

So far this year, the rate of hiring in the Bay Area, despite concerns among some economists that employment gains are slowing, has outpaced the job increases of 2018, this news organization’s analysis of the EDD’s employment statistics indicates.
