    Jan 13 2025
    Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Monday, January 13, 2025.

    We're starting off the week with some exciting news about San Diego's job market. The city's tech scene is booming, with a 12.5% growth rate over the past five years and an impressive 78,860 professionals in the field. Major companies like Qualcomm, Illumina, and Bitcot are leading innovation across telecommunications, genomics, and digital solutions, creating tons of opportunities for fresh talent. The median tech salary here is $105,316, making it the 9th highest-paying tech market in the country[4].

    In cybersecurity, the demand is especially high, with a 31% growth and salaries averaging $149,573. Major firms like Northrop Grumman are seeking talent in cloud security and AI tools. Entry-level roles start around $70,000, with many accessible through bootcamps and certifications, filling a skills gap that meets only 87% of demand[1].

    Moving on to real estate, we don't have any major updates today, but we'll keep an eye on the market for you.

    From city hall, there are no significant updates affecting daily life that we need to share today.

    Weather-wise, it's going to be a beautiful day in San Diego, perfect for outdoor activities. If you're planning to enjoy the trails, Mission Trails Regional Park is hosting Trail Tykes this morning from 10am to 11am[3].

    In new business activity, we don't have any major openings or closings to report today, but we do have a vibrant lineup of community events. Tonight, you can enjoy live music at L'Auberge Del Mar with Danielle Angeloni at 5pm, or head to Estancia La Jolla Hotel and Spa for Helena Holleran at 6pm. For those interested in cultural activities, the WorldBeat Cultural Center is offering Middle Eastern Drumming Classes from 6pm to 7pm[3].

    In local school achievements, we don't have any specific updates today, but we're always proud of our local students and athletes.

    For a feel-good community story, let's highlight the ongoing efforts in our city to promote sustainability and innovation, making San Diego a great place to live and work.

    In today's crime report, we don't have any significant incidents to share from the past 24 hours, but we always encourage our listeners to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.

    Flu outbreak, sewage spill, tech job boom, and more - San Diego Local Pulse for January 13, 2025
    Jan 13 2025
    Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for January 13, 2025.

    We're starting off with some breaking news from the past few days. A highly contagious flu is spreading rapidly across San Diego County, so we urge everyone to take necessary precautions. Additionally, two North County beaches have been added to the county's list of beach advisories due to high bacteria levels, and a South Bay pump station failure resulted in 30,000 gallons of sewage spilling into the ocean.

    Moving on to the job market, San Diego is booming, especially in the tech and cybersecurity sectors. The city's tech workforce has expanded to nearly 79,000 professionals, with a 12.5% growth rate over the past five years. Major employers like Qualcomm, Illumina, and Northrop Grumman are actively hiring for various roles, including software engineers, data scientists, and cybersecurity specialists. The average tech salary here is around $105,000, and entry-level positions can start at about $70,000. Notably, the cybersecurity job market is expected to grow by 31%, with salaries averaging $149,573.

    In real estate news, while we don't have specific updates on notable property sales or new development projects today, it's worth mentioning that the city is seeing a significant expansion in research space, with 3.2 million square feet coming online by the end of 2025.

    From city hall, we have updates on the Normal Street Promenade project in Hillcrest, which has finally begun. This project aims to enhance the community space and improve local businesses.

    Weather-wise, a significant and prolonged Santa Ana wind event is expected today, so we advise everyone to be cautious and check the latest forecasts before heading out.

    In business news, the popular brunch spot Crushed in Pacific Beach has closed its doors, while the San Diego Humane Society is warning about a lost pet scam. On a brighter note, the Escondido reptile rescue is facing higher costs and is at risk of closure, so we encourage our listeners to support local businesses and charities.

    Looking ahead to community events, this weekend offers a variety of activities, including Monster Jam and Paw Patrol Live. Also, don't miss the opportunity to explore the city's vibrant cultural scene, with events like the Haitian community honoring cousins who tragically passed away in a Lemon Grove crash.

    In local school achievements, while we don't have specific updates today, we always celebrate the accomplishments of our students and educators who make San Diego a great place to learn and grow.

    For a feel-good community story, we want to highlight the San Diego Humane Society's efforts in protecting and caring for our city's pets.

    In today's crime report, authorities are seeking tips to find a suspected gang involved in a mass-murder robbery at a marijuana farm in 2020. Additionally, a Vista woman lost her life savings in a 'Keanu Reeves' imposter romance scam, so we urge everyone to be vigilant and report any suspicious activities.
