The best places for tech jobs are surprisingly not in Silicon Valley anymore. Between 2015 and 2020, nearly half of the country’s tech job creation was located in San Francisco, San Jose, New York, Seattle, Los Angeles, Boston, Washington, D.C., and Austin.
Today, tech job seekers are attracted to areas with lower costs of living. According to a CompTIA’s IT Career Insights survey, about one in four IT pros cite job flexibility in work hours or location as a driver for initially seeking a career in IT. Last year there were 3.3 million total job postings for open IT positions in the United States. About one-quarter of those (27%) were advertised as remote work.
CompTIA’s research team looked at 20 metropolitan areas with populations over 250,000, where demand for tech workers is greatest. The cities were then ranked based on cost of living, number of postings for open IT positions and projected job growth over the next 12 months and the next five years. Check out CompTIA’s 2022 Tech Town Index for a complete list of hubs around the U.S. where technology is blossoming.
