The Bay Area powered to big job gains during December, an upswing that defied the effects of months of tech layoff announcements and accounted for the vast majority of California’s job gains, a new report shows.

Employers in the nine-county region added 13,600 jobs last month, which amounted to a jaw-dropping 84% of all the jobs that California gained during December, the state Employment Development Department reported Friday.
