Five Cities Account for 90% of Growth in Tech Jobs

Just five metropolitan areas—Boston; San Diego; San Francisco; Seattle; and San Jose, Calif.—accounted for 90% of all U.S. high-tech job growth between 2005 to 2017, according to the research by think-tank scholars Mark Muro and Jacob Whiton of the Brookings Institution and Rob Atkinson of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation.
quote:
The nation’s 377 other metro areas accounted for 10% of the 256,063 jobs created during that period in 13 high-tech industries such as software publishing, pharmaceutical manufacturing and semiconductor production. Among the smaller cities that gained tech jobs were Madison, Wis.; Albany, N.Y.; Provo, Utah; and Pittsburgh. Some prominent cities— including New York and Austin—lagged in tech job creation, according to the study.
The result is increased concentration of high-tech resources in just a few places and a strengthening of economic forces that are dividing the nation.

Some big cities were left behind. Combined, the Washington, D.C., metro area; Dallas; Philadelphia; Chicago; and Los Angeles lost more than 45,000 high-tech jobs between 2005 and 2017, according to the study. Many small cities across the heartland also lost tech jobs.

Small cities and towns are getting left in the dust more and more

But 5 of the largest cities did NOT pull this off. In fact none of the top 5 largest cities in America are on this list.
Can you read?

Surprised Austin didn’t increase by way more than that, considering all the people moving here and new buildings being thrown up.

SF is basically overflowing with tech jobs/money.. and poop obviously.
It’s ridiculous how much wealth has been made in that area.

Keep seeing this same basic article.
"They" are trying to herd us into a few tightly controlled stockyards. These few urban agglomeration will continue to be promoted in breathless, slack-jawed fashion by all media outlets.

Cheap property to be had from people moving out in droves

Boston is an odd outlier but the other 4 are near Silicon Valley so not surprising

quote:that’s a little misleading. When it comes to cities it would be more accurate to quote the metro area that encompasses the local economy.

Looking at it by city boundaries gives as much accuracy as like saying Jacksonville FL is the biggest city because of the size of it it square miles

I mean, not really. General Electric just moved their headquarters here and built a massive high rise. Boston also has one of the most educated populations in the country.
If you include Cambridge, which I assume they are, tech is a massive industry. Especially Bio.

you better use it or you will look stupid when they put you on a team because someone did an sql search on who all knows language x and you are a resource, roller bearing.
Be sure to get the environment loaded on your machine.
Use it a few minutes every day. Read up on one thing every day.
Write little programs.

This is one of those we can make a statistic out of anything if we define the question properly

Dallas being in the losing category is pretty surprising. I'm currently looking for job in tech and almost half of the job postings I'm seeing seem to be in the Dallas metroplex.
