Colorado #1 for Concentration of Tech Employees

Seven years running, Colorado has managed to maintain the highest concentration of Tech workers.  Our tech workers are among the best paid ranking #8 out of all the U.S. locations.

When it comes to total exports, tech exports total more than half of Colorado’s total.

The top ten high tech states are as follows (stated per 1,000 private sector workers):

  1. Colorado 88.72
  2. Virginia 88.60
  3. Massachusetts 85.13
  4. District of Columbia 78.83  (P.S. note for Jay Leno’s streetwalkers, D.C. is NOT a state)
  5. Maryland 78.33
  6. New Mexico 73.08
  7. Idaho 72.53
  8. California 71.76
  9. New Hampshire 70.76
  10. Washington 69.22

The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth…or at least Colorado   :)
