LA Number Two Tech Employment Area In Nation, Says Report

A new report, published this week by the nonprofit CompTIA group, says that Los Angeles is the number two metropolitan area in the nation for technology employment. According to the CompTIA 2018 CyberStates report, LA had 501,900 technology workers, number two in the nation behind New York City, which has 664,800. San Francisco, at number four, has 375,000 workers, with San Jose at fifth with 365,600. The CompTIA's study includes not just workers in the technology industry itself, but those working IT support, network engineering, software development and related roles. The group's study also includes both professional working for technology companies, but others in organizations in other industry sectors. California, as a whole, represents 25 percent of all people on the technology sector payroll in the nation, according to the study.
