Cities with most tech job growth
The tech sector’s growth is largely isolated to a handful of cities — even if you broaden the definition of a “tech job.” About a third of tech jobs created over the past decade were in five cities — San Francisco, San Jose, Austin, Seattle and Denver, according to new research from the Brookings Institution. They expanded the “tech job” definition to included digital services, such as software publishers. When they looked at the top 10 cities, they accounted for 50% of new jobs. Researchers say the concentrated growth is thanks — in part — to Big Tech companies attracting new tech companies.
