The recession swept away just about the trace of the old factories, as well, including Nabisco, Pacific Drydock, Phoenix Iron Works and Carnation in West Oakland, Sunshine Biscuits, Del Monte, Granny Goose, and Delaval Ship Engines in East Oakland, and Golden Grains and Kellog in San Leandro. One million square feet of industrial space stood vacant in West Oakland in 1994. Soon thereafter, Pentagon cutbacks slashed
payrolls in the East Bay as obsolete military installations were phased out. Manufacturing in Oakland was cut to the nubbin -- less than one-sixth of the city’s jobs by century’s end. Of nearly 200,000 jobs in Oakland, one-third are in the public sector, another third are in services. The biggest remaining private employer is Kaiser-Permanente Medical group. A list of the top manufacturers shows most to be located in Fremont and Pleasanton; Oakland retains only Clorox.116
