I'm surprised the manufacturing share of California's GSP isn't higher.

Why? Silicon Valley doesn't produce physical products. It just invents them.

Actually a lot of high tech work comes under manufacturing. Manufacturing of processors is an obvious one. Look at a map of manufacturing by counties, and Santa Clara is always up there.

This is an interesting website. A thread was started about it a few months back but nobody really responded.

Also from that website, the average manufacturing wage in San Jose was $144,899, whereas the average wage for all jobs combined was $92,574.
