Houston Named Tech Job Hot Spot

If you are looking for tech jobs, we are happy to announce that the U.S. News and World Report named Houston, Texas one of the best places to find tech jobs in the U.S.

According to the report, Houston is full of service firms serving the energy industry, with many of these jobs in the IT field. Houston's high tech industry has emerged from World War II, and currently remains on top. The report confirms its high status by stating that "Today, Houston ranks high for total tech job postings and has above-average ratios for tech job postings to employment in multiple occupations."

U.S. News gathered its findings by starting with a database of 2,000 cities, and by combining that with data provided by OnBoard Informatics. They looked at metropolitan areas that are large enough to support the tech field. This data was then sorted based on factors such as high rates of graduate degrees, etc.

While some industries have been hit hard economically in otherparts of the country, the Houston IT industry, such as engineering and software development, is faring much better. Given the richness of the industry within Houston, it's no secret as to why the city is continues bustling today.
