Insurance institutions, contracting, and service-orientated companies have become really common because the pace of development has increased. This has created various jobs in the service sector areas, comprising schools and hospitals.
Although these areas sectors to be booming, people from Antioch seem to drift to bigger cities for work, like Oakland and San Francisco.
