Texas tops state markets, with 7.3% of job postings — 4% are in Austin alone.
Washington, D.C., and New York City top metro markets.
Virginia, Georgia and North Carolina are also climbing the chart, in some cases besting established competitors such as Massachusetts.
Denver and Nashville have seen some of the biggest increases in hiring.
If you really think that the Silicon Valley is “leaving California” just because there’s some jobs openings in other states, then you don’t know why the Silicon Valley is what it is or how it operates.
And to add to that, what makes the Silicon Valley what it is is innovation. Not existing companies opening jobs. The vast majority (I’m talking well over 90%) of major innovative companies begin in the West Coast and the majority stay put. It doesn’t matter if it’s Uber, SoFi, DoorDash, etc etc. They don’t leave the Silicon Valley until they are established and don’t need much venture capital anymore to continue to operate (which most stay put as it is).
And seeing that SF and SJ dwarf any competitor on the list of unicorn startups, this won’t change anytime soon.
Too bad they didn't include Seattle on the list of recipients instead of the list of sources. It might outdo them all given the pace companies like Meta and Alphabet are growing. Those two alone represent nine local campuses with maybe 35 buildings.
Heck, the San Francisco area is a recipient too, with a lot of tech offices for companies from elsewhere including here.
Maybe the better analysis (if not so headline-inducing) would be job postings per city by tech companies based elsewhere.

Yeah. It’s obvious OP was trying to take shots at California and honestly it was a poor attempt. The article’s actual headline “40% of tech openings are outside of the west coast”. What does that tell you about the other 60%.

No offense, but this lacks any sense whatsoever.
Pretty much like NYC and finance. Bay Area is where technical innovation happens. Now can that change? Maybe one day? Like LA is losing a lot of their film industry to Atlanta. But, in my experience, cost isn't a big consideration for start ups especially when all of the VC money is still here.

Yeah he's not a fan of California. It's a Texas thing......for some.
Cities like Atlanta are attractive to increase the diversity pool for these tech companies dominated by white and asian males. With all the black colleges and numerous black students at places like Georgia State University, it's a good way to increase diversity numbers: https://www.ajc.com/news/west-coast-...ITODD2VVY6MJU/ Plus you have strong schools in Georgia Tech and Emory. Silicon Valley will remain the main hub but if these companies want a more diverse tech pool they will need to look outside of California.

I as the OP wasn't trying to take shots. I took this post from Linkedin today, so take issue with that website. But that said, is 60% comparable to say 20 years go? I don't know but I do know Amazon occupies over 13 million sf of office space in Seattle, bursting at the seams, so they started looking elsewhere like DC and Nashville. Oracle and Telsa relocated HQs and Apple now has two campuses in Austin, over 4 million sf. in total and announced plans to build in Raleigh, NC.

Huh. The first graph they show doesn’t seem to have Georgia or NC coming close to MA. Virginia definitely made big strides, but I imagine that’s mostly Amazon.
Speaking of which, this thread is mistitled. The articles about tech companies with HQs anywhere in the west. Not just the Bay Area.

the title is the same as that used on Linkedin.
