Tech Jobs in the U.S.: The Top 10 Cities for Technology Work
The New York metro area and Washington, DC, lead the nation in high-tech employment, says a study by the American Electronics Association.
August 26, 2008 — CIO —
"Cybercities 2008"—the recent report by the U.S. high-tech trade association the American Electronics Association (AeA)—took a look at the largest metropolitan 60 metropolitan areas to analyze such factors as which U.S. areas have the most tech jobs, which have the best tech job growth, which cities have the highest tech salaries, and which techies make the most money compared with their non-tech counterparts.
Check out our slideshow of the top 10 tech cities.
City areas may be composed of more than one county (and in some cases, states), and the top 60 metro areas vary widely in the number of counties included in their definition. AeA uses the standard definitions of metro areas as defined by the U.S. government, and include only the nations urbanized areas with population centers of 50,000 or more. Data used to determine which cities led the nation in high-tech employment and other factors is from 2006, which is the most recent data available at the metropolitan level.
| 2006 Employment | Growth in 2006 | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. New York Metro Area | 316,500 | 2.1% |
| 2. Washington, DC | 295,800 | 2.1% |
| 3. San Jose/Silicon Valley | 225,300 | 2.7% |
| 4. Boston | 54% | 13% |
| 5. Dallas-Fort Worth | 176,000 | 1.6% |
| 6. Los Angeles | 172,200 | 1.8% |
| 7. Chicago | 164,000 | 1.4% |
| 8. Philadelphia | 132,200 | 2.8% |
| 9. Seattle | 127,700 | 6.5% |
| 10 Atlanta | 126,700 | 1.9% |
