> As such, they have increased their share of the nation’s total innovation employment from 17.6% to 22.8%. In contrast, the bottom 90% of metro areas (343 of them) lost share.
It sounds to me that they are talking about a zero-sum game: a share of total innovation of the nation, which is 100% by definition.
And then Vox/recode being unable to retell this story well, so it is morphing to something else (to something like dynamics of the absolute number of innovation-related jobs per area; but what Brookings is saying does not seem to be about that).
