Phoenix Tech Jobs Ranked Among Top 20

Despite having lost workers during the economic downturn, the high-tech industry has created enough Phoenix tech jobs to rank the city well.

Cybercities 2010, a new report from the TechAmerica Foundation, ranked Phoenix 18th in the nation among the top cities in which to find a high-tech job. The city's high-tech industry employed 83,700 workers during 2009.

However, the industry still suffered from the economic recession, losing 5,800 high-tech jobs - or 6 percent of the industry's total employment - between 2008 and 2009. Only six other cities included in the report lost more high-tech jobs than Phoenix during that time.

The tens of thousands of workers that remain employed benefit from a higher-than-average salary. The average salary for high-tech employees in Phoenix comes in at about $81,200, which is 87 percent higher than the overall average private sector salary.

The largest high-tech sector in Phoenix is semiconductor manufacturing, which employed 18,100 workers last year, followed by computer systems design and related services' workforce of 15,300 employees and telecommunications services total of 13,000 workers.

The top 10 cities for high-tech jobs include:
  1. New York, N.Y.
  2. Washington, D.C.
  3. San Jose-Silicon Valley, Calif.
  4. Boston, Mass.
  5. Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas
  6. Los Angeles, Calif.
  7. Chicago, Ill.
  8. Seattle, Wash.
  9. Philadelphia, Pa.
  10. Houston, Texas
