LOCAL HOURS: San Francisco residents have worked more than 165,000 of the total 510,000 craft hours on SSIP projects. This equates to 32% of the total hours, exceeding the Local Hire requirements of 20-30% depending on the contract advertisement date. San Francisco apprentices have worked nearly 50,000 hours, which accounts for 65% of all apprentice hours worked on SSIP, and exceeds the 50% local apprentice requirement.
