The IN Crowd High Tech Grows in Indiana

摘要

Silicon Valley is the undisputed high tech hub of the world, but it's certainly not where all of the action is. The Indianapolis area also has a vibrant and growing tech scene. Indeed, Forbes in November 2013 ranked Indianapolis among the top 10 metro areas for technology job growth. Computer-related employment from 2009 to 2012 in the Indianapolis-Carmel Metropolitan Statistical Area grew 7.3 percent while job growth of all occupations in the same area increased 2 percent, according to BLS. (That's compared to a decline of all occupations nationally of 0.3 percent for the same period of time.) And of those computer-related occupations, reports the TechPoint Tech Employer Survey, software applications developers were the most in demand.
