>>. competition for mid-level and higher-level jobs, especially in tech is high-end only growing. >> i was just talking to someone at one of our tech firms and he put out a job for a mid-level marketing position. within two weeks , they received 200 applicants. people who are looking for jobs, always a stressful time but they should not blame themselves. it is the market. it is a very competitive market here in the area. >> reporter: wage growth also slowed down from 4.1% in may to 3.6%. >> i think the wage numbers were even more concerning . one thing was seen over the past couple of years his wage growth. it has been strong. 2022, 2023. >> reporter: the markets to get ahead after the report came out. heading into the weekend the dow dropped more than 600 points. the nasdaq dropped more than 400. >> every county in the bay area is doing better than statewide unemployment. the rate is 5.2%.

in fact, solano county has the highest rate at 5.1% while san mateo has a lower rate in the bay area at 3.5%. darren is going to apply the weather magnifying glass to stern grove. >> one of the most notoriously difficult places to nail a forecast is for stern grove on a sunday. we can generalize some ideas. i will show you what is going to look like tomorrow. obviously, the big trick is how much marine layer there will be. we get a wide view to see where we are. i'm going to bring on the fog for tomorrow, but we're just going to look at one frame and that spring in this ahead to 2:00 tomorrow. that is when coverage starts and we are actually going to go on about 3:00 tomorrow. it will be a wonderful day but it's most likely going to be gray. if we put the number on here for stern grove , and you get a

little indicator, go ahead and take a close-up look at that because stern park shows up right there. you can actually even see the little patch of green under the clouds there for where the park is. anyway, it's going to be gray there. you might get some burst of sun as we go through the day but in general plan on the marine layer covering not only stern growth but also a large part of the city for a good part of the day. it's going to be one of those days where we don't really get much break, so just a quick review on the forecast. old-school way, let's put some numbers on that for your plan, it's going to be in the low 60s out there so you can plan on temperatures being in the low 60s for san francisco, and cloudy. we can put everybody else's numbers on the virtual map now, as well. daytime highs

are going to cool down a bit. you made it up to 100 today in concord. tomorrow, numbers are going back down in your top out in the low 90s. northbay valleys get a break, as well. livermore going to 91 tomorrow. that is a little above average, as is san jose at 84 but these numbers are only three or four degrees above average. this is about a six degree cooldown tomorrow from where you were today. another day with another impressive round of thunderstorms showing up in the sierra and we can watch the lightning across tahoe. there was a good amount of rain with this so we are not concerned about fire today because there was enough widespread watching rain that came down today and tomorrow that pattern is going to start quieting down. if you look at what was going on here, this counterclockwise spin is what has been responsible for the last two days of lightning across the state. this area of low pressure supercharged moisture coming in from the southwest. thankfully, we appear to have escaped those two days without any significant fire starts, which

is good, considering the coverage we've done on the park fire. look at the smoke forecast. this is an optimistic outlook. there is not a lot of smoke getting produced by the park fire coming our way. should the fire behave that way obviously then we are not looking at much in the way of a forecast for smoke. we don't have any major air-quality adviser is right now. that is good now. sensors all across our reading good. here is your seven day. nice cooldown for the next few days. then we warm up so you're going to be back on the verge of 100 for inland valley tuesday, but look back here as we get toward the next week. do you know what an average daytime high is in general? 88 degrees, so you have two average days to look forward to . granted, the very nature of average means we

should be getting days below 88. apparently not the summer, but at least we are going back down to average for a couple of days, so that has to make you feel good. back to you. coming up in sports, giants looking to build off friday's no-hitter, what was that? nothing. ahh! gorilla super glue. brush for edge to edge coverage, and nozzle for precise application. all in one. for the toughest jobs on planet earth

thanks to blake snell, the giants entered saturday with a newfound momentum they hope to build on as they try to get back into the postseason race, but the cincinnati reds had other plans for them. kyle harrison on the mound for the giants looking to pick it up where snow left off but tyler stephenson had other plans. second inning, solo blast to right center put the reds on the board early and he was not done. in the fourth, stephenson sends another one to deep center. the only difference, two runners on base. that is

not great for the giants. harrison lasted just 3 2/3 innings. he gave up four home runs but the giants don't quit. matt chapman, solo shot . that was his 16th of the season. final chance for san francisco. reds win 6-4. giants play for the series on sunday. talking about snow, last night he completed his first career no-hitter to cap off a 3-0 win for the giants, the 18th no-no in giants history and the first for san francisco since 2013. his also the first time snow pitched into the ninth inning and completed the game. he had some words for his doubters after this one. >> how would you describe how you are feeling? >> they can't say it anymore, you know. complete game, shut out, no-hitter, leave me alone.

you all know how good that feels? >> we are talking about blake snell right now but really it was tyler fitzgerald who got the biggest award on saturday, named the n.l. rookie of the month. he is hit nine home runs over his last 14 games and he hit .321 in the month of july. a's hope to hand the dodgers a second straight loss that the l.a. bats went to town off the oakland pitch. this was just the start. dodgers had 14 hits. they put up 10 runs, six of those came in the ninth inning alone. a's can still go for the series win. that would be a big surprise for all of us, that one plane at 1:07 on sunday. still to come, one week away from the 49ers preseason opener but today was about honoring the past. patrick wilkes accomplished the ultimate goal of any football player, foreve

the grind knows what you put in. >> i know who is not cheating the grind. it is fred warner, right now considered one of the best linebackers in the league in yesterday, it was announced that number 54 is the highest rated linebacker in the upcoming game. he had nothing but praise for the 49ers's newest hall of famer. >> you guys get together and talk what you get from him? >> i'm just trying to rub shoulders as much as i can with some greatness, you know what i'm saying? hopefully it rubs off on me just being able to know patrick and have him as somebody to talk to and to look to as to how the position is supposed to be played and how it is supposed to look. he's obviously one of the best and i'm so happy for him and his hall of fame induction going on this weekend and just the fact that i have him in my contacts to be able to text him or call him about anything and have his reassurance that i'm doing things the right way means the world to me. >> you can just whip out your phone. and there he is. that's

crazy. >> yeah, it's crazy. >> this time next week will be in nashville breaking down preseason game number one, which will air right here on kpix. >> all right. it was a little bit different last year because brock purdy was coming off of his injury. >> i'm wondering the same thing i know at this point there are still contract extensions. that is all i can say for now. >> thank you so much.
