The Bay Area economy roared out of the gate to begin 2020 by adding 7,700 jobs in January, state officials reported Friday, but the latest statistics were compiled before any coronavirus effects would have shown up in the collective staffing decisions by employers.

The January job gains were fueled by robust employment increases in Santa Clara County, the San Francisco-San Mateo metro area, and the East Bay, a new report from the state’s Employment Development Department showed. The figures were the most recent available from the California labor agency, which altered its usual schedule so staffers could compile an annual revision of previously released job statistics.
