Abstract

SILICON VALLEY CONTINUES TO DOMINATE. In every study I've seen, it has the lion's share of tech jobs. Its engineers command the highest salaries. This is despite the fact that over the years, various regions in the United States and worldwide have pitched themselves as the “next Silicon Valley” (or “Silicon Glen” or “Silicon Fen.”) Some have indeed increased their pool of tech jobs. But none have really become a serious technology hub, outside of Boston, Seattle, San Diego, and North Carolina's Research Triangle.
