If Your'e Going to San Francisco...
San Francisco has long appealed to twentysomethings who want an urban lifestyle without the sprawl of Los Angeles, the cold of Chicago or the hectic competition of New York City. In the 1960s, aspiring hippies flocked to Haight Ashbury. Between 1995 and 2000, it was the second most popular metro area, after New York, for young, single, college-educated people to move to. But from 2000 to 2004, almost 60,000 twentysomethings left following the collapse of the dot-com bubble.
Are You Going to (Stay in) San Francisco?August 16, 2007
When Nick Colin and two of his friends were deciding where to live after they graduated from Bard College in 2004, they landed on San Francisco. It was the obvious choice, says Mr. Colin. None of them wanted to move back to their hometowns in Virginia, Ohio and Maine, and they weren't attracted to Manhattan's frenetic pace.
The three rented an apartment just south of San Francisco's Mission District, a popular destination for young adults attracted to the neighborhood's copious dive bars, cafes, restaurants and music venues.
"It's easy living," said Mr. Colin, speaking from his cellphone as he rode the bus home from work. "At a taqueria, you can get a gut-busting meal for under $5; the weather's not extreme, and I just sold my car because I'm trying to be more green."
But now, two of his roommates are planning to leave town, and Mr. Colin, who's 25, is considering it. "It's a little bit bleaker than we thought it would be as far as job prospects," he says.
THE CITY'S LIMITS
San Francisco has long appealed to twentysomethings who want an urban lifestyle without the sprawl of Los Angeles, the cold of Chicago or the hectic competition of New York City. In the 1960s, aspiring hippies flocked to Haight Ashbury. Between 1995 and 2000, it was the second most popular metro area, after New York, for young, single, college-educated people to move to. But from 2000 to 2004, almost 60,000 twentysomethings left following the collapse of the dot-com bubble.
In 2005, they started coming back. Drawn perhaps by the tech resurgence, 5,915 people aged 20-29 arrived in the city that year from another state, according to the U.S. Census.
But will they stay?
While jobs in management consulting and software engineering grew in San Francisco in 2005, 25% of those positions were filled by self-employed people working on a project basis, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These aren't the kinds of contracts that new grads with suitcases in tow and few connections are likely to nab.
Almost every job sector in San Francisco, from law to retail to insurance, has hardly grown at all, or shrunk in the past 15 years, according to data from the state of California. One of the few bright spots has been the hospitality sector, which added 4,000 jobs since 2004. Ted Egan, San Francisco's chief economist, says that nearly half of all 140,000 San Francisco jobs held by 22-34 year-olds are in either hospitality or financial and professional services.
The result: many college graduates wind up waiting tables or making lattes.
"So many of the people I know just work in restaurants and coffee shops who are brilliant people, and came here with the hopes that they could find meaningful work," says Mr. Colin's roommate Jean Klasovsky. The 25-year-old looked for a full-time position at a nonprofit for a year while working two part-time jobs, six days a week, at a bookstore and an after-school tutoring center. Now she works at a nonprofit management consultancy. But she says it's not a career that interests her, and wants to become an elementary school teacher. She will soon choose between several teaching fellowships and graduate programs in Boston and New York.
Why not San Francisco?
"There's a huge contingent of young people who aren't really doing anything here, and I've somehow fallen into that crowd," says Ms. Klasovsky, adding that at least a third of her friends have either moved or decided to move in the last year.
Mr. Colin, a photography major, says he was laid off from his first job at a photo lab. He revised his career goals and sought work in a nonprofit that's focused on environmental conservation. After a handful of interviews, he had no offers. He hasn't given up, but he's broadened his search, and recently interviewed for a job at a media start-up. He was rejected. In the meantime, he's doing temporary data entry and administrative work at local companies. "I'm getting less and less young, and it's kind of a depressing situation," he says.
Hilary Konrad, the third roommate, says she plans to move to Boston in the next six months for graduate school. A painter from Portland, Maine, Ms. Konrad worked in a coffee shop to pay the bills, but she just quit. She says she was shaken after discovering that a homeless person had spent the night in the cafe bathroom. "The coffee shop wasn't people coming in for coffee -- it was a lot of homeless people. I'm a sensitive person, and I got very sad from it."
"Young creative people have been moving to San Francisco since the '60s because it's known as a place where you can experiment, both artistically and personally," says Beth Lisick, a Bay Area native who wrote a column about youth culture, the arts and nightlife for the San Francisco Chronicle's Web site from 1997 to 2005, when she was in her late 20s and early 30s.
In the city, she says, "there's not the pressure to be 'a success.' Of course this is totally ironic because San Francisco is an extremely expensive place to live and if you're not succeeding at least somewhat financially then you've got to figure out somewhere else to go."
Chris Van Pelt, originally from Iowa, is someone who moved there with a job. While living in San Diego, the 25-year-old was recruited by a friend to come north and work at a search engine start-up called Powerset. The software engineer never had a dream to live in the city, but says he appreciates working in the geographic center of his industry.
Joanna Luu, from Houston originally, was hired out of college as an online media planner at digital marketing agency Avenue A/Razorfish, in San Francisco. The 24-year-old says she studied online advertising at the University of Texas, finished two summer internships in the field before graduation and utilized her school's career counseling center to prepare for job interviews. "The job I got was through networking my senior year in Austin," she says. Ms. Luu researched the cost of living before the move, so the city's pricey amenities weren't a shock.
If you're going to San Francisco, it's still okay to wear flowers in your hair, but be sure to arrive with a job.

Relatives in Mexico can only pray for miners - Los Angeles Times
The American mining industry has long had historical ties to immigrant labor. The current international coverage being afforded to this tragedy is shedding some much needed light on this complicated immigrant labor issue. Mexican labor is increasingly found in many parts of rural America, on the fields and underneath them.
For these Americanos, toiling underneath the Utah landscape often brings little recognition in the mainstream media, where Mexicans are constantly scapegoated and blamed for economic woes and cultural dilution.
See the attached LA Times article, which does a good job of addressing this cross-cultural phenomenon: Mexico and the United States.
"Zapotillo is a village with unpaved and unnamed roads, surrounded by corn and tomato fields withering under an unrelenting sun. Farmers in the region often make as little as $20 per week. In Utah's coal mines, immigrant workers earn more than that for just an hour's work."
"As elsewhere in Mexico, the pull of such wages has caused Zapotillo to slowly empty. The village is populated mostly by women, children and the elderly."
"They leave looking for better fortune, in search of the green bills," said Payan Carrillo, a dark-skinned man of weathered features. "But it's very risky work. People don't think about the risk."
For days, Mexicans have been riveted by the story of the three compatriots trapped in the U.S. mine.

Clinton Seeks to Offset Black Defections by Courting Hispanics
REGISTER TO VOTE!! WHEREVER YOU ARE!! ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE HISPANIC!!
This article by Hans Nichols addresses one of Senator Clinton's strategies for the upcoming 2008 election. Whether Latinos bite the apple put forth by Hillary will largely depend on the efforts of the other notable candidates such as Edwards, Richardson, and Obama.
Aug. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Representative Ciro Rodriguez picked up his phone in June and heard a familiar, raspy voice: It was former President Bill Clinton, asking the Texas Democrat to endorse his wife Hillary's White House bid.
``So far, they're the only campaign to contact me,'' said Rodriguez, former chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. He's mulling the request, and hasn't forgotten that the former president campaigned for him in last year's congressional election. ``He's done a lot for me,'' said Rodriguez.
Senator Clinton's campaign is bracing for a possible swing of black voters toward her chief rival, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, by focusing more attention on Hispanic voters. With one eye on the nomination and the other on the general election, Clinton, 59, has seeded her staff with Spanish-speaking operatives, starting with Patti Solis Doyle, her campaign manager.
``I'm taking this one personally,'' Solis Doyle said. ``In 2004, Republicans made some inroads with the Hispanic vote. It's our intention to get that vote back.''
Hispanics may play a key role in the 2008 Democratic nominating process as well. Obama, 46, whose father was Kenyan, will ``probably draw about 60 percent of the African-American community,'' said Representative Edolphus Towns, a black Democrat from New York who has endorsed Clinton. To win, ``she's going to have to beat him in the Hispanic community.''
Adding to the Calendar
Party leaders added two Hispanic-laden states to the front of their nominating calendar: Nevada, where they make up about 20 percent of Democrats, and Florida, where they account for about 10 percent, according to Matt Barreto, a political scientist at the University of Washington in Seattle. They will likely join Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina as contests that can slingshot a candidate to the nomination.
``Hispanics have an unprecedented opportunity to be a decisive factor in Nevada and Florida,'' said Luis Navarro, manager of Delaware Senator Joe Biden's presidential bid.
The campaigns themselves don't know how many Hispanics will vote in primaries and caucuses, which historically see low participation by Latinos. ``We just don't have numbers on that,'' said Hilarie Grey, Clinton's spokeswoman in Nevada.
To complicate matters, the Hispanic vote isn't monolithic. In Florida, for instance, Cuban-Americans in southern counties lean Republican. Elsewhere in the state, a growing population of Puerto Ricans and non-Cuban Hispanics is voting Democratic.
Western Targets
More certain is the effect Hispanics will have in the general election, especially in three western states that Bush narrowly won in 2004: Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico. All three have expanding numbers of Latinos, with New Mexico's now at 31 percent of the population.
President George W. Bush captured more than 40 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2004, much
better than the 21 percent Republicans received in 1996.
After a divisive immigration debate, however, congressional Republicans saw a sharp decline in Hispanic support in 2006, with their share dropping to 30 percent, according to exit polls.
At the same time, overall Hispanic turnout rose to 8 percent of the electorate, up 33 percent from 2002, said Simon Rosenberg, president of NDN, a Democratic advocacy group in Washington.
Arizona, which Bush carried with 55 percent of the vote in 2004, might also be in play along with Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada, said Moses Mercado, who directed Senator John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign in New Mexico. ``Even if turnout stays the same and Hispanics vote like they did in 2006, not 2004, we win all those states,'' he said.
Clinton's Edge
In both the primary and general election, Clinton has a distinct advantage. ``It's all part of our long drawn-out love affair with Bill,'' said Representative Jose Serrano of New York, who has endorsed Senator Clinton. A recent AP/Ipsos survey of Hispanics gave her 45 percent, Obama 17 percent and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, whose mother is Mexican, 5 percent.
``We never expect to be ahead in national polls,'' said Jen Psaki, an Obama spokeswoman. She said Obama has appeared on Hispanic media, including radio and TV shows on the Univision network. He also has the endorsement of many Latino leaders in Illinois, among them
Representative Luis Gutierrez, Obama's sole Hispanic backer in Congress.
``When you know him, you like him,'' said Gutierrez. ``He has lots of room for growth.''
Even in Iowa
The scramble for Hispanic votes has even reached Iowa, where Latinos make up roughly 4 percent of the electorate. Earlier this summer, several campaigns tried to enlist Alfred Ramirez, executive director of Diversity Focus, a minority advocacy group in Cedar Rapids. He signed with Senator Clinton.
Clinton seems to be pressing her advantage. She has designated a press secretary for Hispanic media, Fabiola Rodriguez-Ciampoli, as well as a Hispanic outreach director, Laura Peña. Sergio Bendixen is conducting Latino polling.
Meanwhile, the Democrats' lone Hispanic candidate, New Mexico's Richardson, has identified his own ethnic liability: an Anglo last name. Richardson will gain traction ``once Hispanics recognize and realize that one of their own is a candidate,'' said Rick Hernandez, a campaign adviser.

GOP Candidates Alienate Latino Voters | The American Prospect
Sometimes it's really hard to be encouraged by contemporary American politics...
"What a difference a couple of elections make. Although the 2008 nomination race still has plenty of twists and turns left, it's safe to say the Republican candidates will not be trying to outdo one another in courting Latinos. Instead, when the subject of immigrants and their children comes up, it is more likely to be greeted with a chest-thumping contest to determine just which Republican is more committed to building walls and deporting undocumented workers."

In Silicon Valley, Millionaires Who Don’t Feel Rich - New York Times
Bienvenidos a Silly Valley - the home of the Golden Treadmill.
Check out this great article from the NY Times about working-class millionaires in the Valley.
"Yet the same drive that earned so many of the engineers and entrepreneurs who live here their fortunes keeps them tied to the Valley, which resembles nothing so much as a sprawling post-war suburb, though one whose roadways are thick with cars costing in the six figures."
