In actual fact, however, most of the job losses were due to organizational changes. Moreover, according to new figures released by the labor department, there were many more people employed in Alameda in the manufacturing industry in 1990 than in 1979.

Many workers who have retired from the manufacturing industry in Alameda since 1979 have not been replaced by younger workers.
