Texas, Florida, North Carolina lead IT job growth in first half of 2014, study finds |
August 12, 2014
U.S. technology professionals searching for jobs may want to look in states not normally considered IT hot spots.The three states with the highest percentage of IT job growth for the first half of 2014 were Texas at 5.99 percent, Florida at 5.64 percent and North Carolina at 3.8 percent, according to a report from IT job site Dice.The top 10 states in the report “are growing from a lower base compared to a state like California so it’s more about the rate of growth,” said Shravan Goli, president of Dice, which reached its findings by analyzing employment data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.Companies in traditional technology hubs such as New York and California are still hiring, but those states have a larger employment base, he said. California employs the most technology professionals in the U.S. and New York, at 3.08 percent, had the sixth-highest growth rate in the first six months of the year, the report noted. Washington, home to Microsoft and Amazon.com, ranked fifth in the growth rate at 3.53 percent.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
