There are lots of firms here, just not a lot of jobs.

...and some firms 30 miles from San Francisco, and some not even in business anymore, in addition to several internationally recognized SF firms not on this list...

yeah, exactly - good luck!

In SF look for firms doing hospitals and senior living facilities - thats about it - oh and maybe hospitality - trickles of work in that sector - anything backed by big money and projects that have an entitlement process - -
