francisco as in san matteo. if anything, i would argue it's a higher proportion in san francisco because of the large number of hotels and because of the large number of restaurants here. it's a percentage change here showing the 32.5% of leisure and hospitality and the 5% for trade utilities could well be higher, but we don't have the number anyway. at the bottom you can see the difference from the 1.2 million jobs total in november 2019 to just a little over a million in november 2020 or a reduction of 9.3%. focusing a little more on the industry, the largest share of employment reductions. for the sector of leisure and hospitality, this gives a little bit more of a breakdown. food services and brinking places reduced by 32.3% or 33,000 jobs between the two counties. accommodati accommodation, largely hotels, a reduction of 37.1% or 9,800 jobs. probably a good share of them in san francisco. i think for both of those a good rule of thumb between the two counties a good number of the jobs are in san francisco,

i'm emily chang in san francisco. looking back at our biggest interviews of the year this week, a year unlike any other. while a global pandemic created tidal waves of uncertainty for many companies, the tech sector seemed to do what it does best, adapt. one of the company crushed hardest by the pandemic was uber, as commuting halted and ridesharing stalled. it's not the first crisis the ceo has had to navigate, he was an executive in the travel industry after 9/11. he described the pandemic as being more scary than the tax -- the attacks 19 years ago. >> i think the panic was financial in nature and found its way into everyday life and obviously a very negative way. theas deeply worrying as to financial institutions and how they would hold up. to some extent, what we are seeing now is the opposite. it is main street. corona has affected everyone's lives all over the world, almost instantly. it is moving so fast. the worry is, is it going to creep into the financial system versus the financial system creeping into the

i'm san francisco mayor. as of today in san francisco we have a total since this pandemic began of 2108 cases. today is a really tough day. what we're seeing in our city, our region our state is a virus that is taking over. our cases have continued to spike. we're currently averaging one hundred forty new covid positive cases per day compared to thirty four per day that we averaged in late october. we were in a much better place back then. our hospitalization rates are rising especially in our icu's right now. they are rising everywhere. there won't be another county that can help us. yesterday the governor announced his new stay at home order linked to hospital capacity. san francisco is not at that trigger point yet as is the case with the other bay area counties. that doesn't mean we won't be soon and we should wait to act. if you're not working to stay ahead of this virus you're falling far far behind and very quickly. our biggest fear all along is we won't have a bed for you or your mother, or grandmothe
