This one really jumped out at me too. I haven't read this anywhere before:
"research from the Bay Area Council Economic Institute showed that each of these tech jobs had an astounding effect of creating an additional 4.3 jobs in the local economy."
Yeah I thought that was striking as well. I'm generally skeptical of stats like this but I'd love to see the paper and see the structure of those gigs (eg which industries, where geographically are they concentrated etc)
