at least that's what the es >> announcer: you're watching "today in the bay." >> working more than eight hours a day, you should get extra pay. at least that's what the president wants with his new overtime policy. he's aimed at helping middle class workers qualify. will it have any effect here in silicon valley. "today in the bay" crunched the numbers in this week's reality check. >> in the hills of silicon valley sits the golden land of opportunity. trademarks by companies like tesla, twitter and the rest of the technology titans. silicon valley rocks the perception of being, well, rich. so when president obama trumpeted a new plan this week to boost overtime pay for millions of middle class workers, some here might have rolled their eyes. i mean, how many people could the proposal really affect? we did find optimism. >> i worked a lot of overtime hours to put myself through school and things like that. so i'm glad to see there are laws like that to protect people. >> it's great. people are going to spend money.

i mean, you know, you have kids and children and health insurance and life insurance. we need more money. >> who is getting all this newfound money? here is white house domestic policy director cecilia munoz. >> under this rule if you earn $50 or less and you're a salaried worker you would be eligible for overtime. 5 million workers will receive the benefit of this in the first year of its implementation. >> fact check time. in the u.s. white house highlights 4.7 million people that would become eligible for overtime benefits under its proposal. california boasts the highest number of any individual state. 420,000 people. well, that's odd. we had russ hancock and our friends at joint venture silicon valley crunch numbers for us. california has 4 million people who make between $23,000 and $50 orb the salary you need to qualify. only a tenth of them would get more money. >> is that a significant change? >> no, it's not. our president is trying to help

people. we understand that. this is not going to make a significant dent in a situation in california, certainly not in silicon valley. >> yes. silicon valley. what about workers here in that's the second part of our fact check. in silicon valley, joint venture found 157,000 people who make theness salary -- the necessary salary for ot, contract workers, think about uber drivers. those who already receive overtime, how many would you be left with? likely only 15,000 people. >> when you talk about 15,000 people, the same ratios that are going to see $15, $20, $25 more per hour overtime is that enough to give a jolt to the local economy? >> no, absolutely not. you're talking about the most rarified economy in the united states, you could say the world. this is a prodigious regional economy. it's at the center of the tech

phenomenon. >> reporter: the reality it is a fraction of a fraction of the workers here who would benefit from obama overtime rules. don't get me wrong, there are plenty of people who need help. our issue, so many rich on one end of the spectrum, lots of folks on the other end of the service spectrum working to get by and virtually no middle class, who is exactly who president obama says he's trying to help. reality check, back to you. a hot spot could be getting a makeover. developers want to add new stories, a five-story office building and bigger garage to the shopping center in campbell. they want to add safer pedestrian crossings. the construction would take place in several phases over the next 15 years. right now the plan still needs the go ahead from city leaders. still to come on "today in the bay," coming up, a south bay eating star gets ready for his annual chowdown. also a holiday nightmare for people in orlando. tense moments as a high flying
