Many (maybe most?) of the manufacturing jobs in the San Francisco MSA have nothing to do with the tech industry, though a large chunk of silicon valley is in the SF MSA. Gillig manufactures buses here, Tesla manufactures cars, there are a bunch of oil refineries, a sugar refinery, asphalt plants, etc.
