Joint Venture CEO Russell Hancock presented a comprehensive briefing on the 2022 Silicon Valley Index at the annual State of the Valley conference February 18. The report, produced by Joint Venture's Institute for Regional Studies, shows that an incongruous set of contradictions are still a common theme in Silicon Valley. Employment rebounded to pre-pandemic numbers and tech jobs went up 4%. VC hit new records, start-ups were brisk, and there were more IPOs than in any other year this century. Yet, health and wealth disparities were stratified by race and ethnicity.
