I just calculated from http://www.calmis.ca.gov/htmlfile/subject/lftable.htm that the working population in Santa Clara county has fallen by more than 33,000 people. That means 3% of Santa Clara has either given up on searching for work or has moved. Also, according to http://www.uses.doleta.gov/pdf/lsajurisdictions04.pdf , Santa Clara county is listed as a "surplus labor" county. I'm looking forward to the number of workers increasing :-).
