In today's society technology rules the world. From cell phones, computers, and the internet, technology is a part of our every day life. It's a trend that is consistent throughout America and leading to a growing number of technology related jobs. From 2004 to 2014, the number of tech-related jobs grew 31% faster than jobs in other industries like business and healthcare.  In a wider scope, STEM jobs (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) grew 11.4 percent over the same period compared to the 4.5 percent growth of other jobs. 

While the U.S as a whole is experiencing major growth in this job category, it isn't wide spread. Specific areas of the country are dominating the job market when it comes to creating new tech jobs. Forbes magazine did a study on the percent of tech job growth in the last 10 year across 52 of the largest metropolitan cities in the country. According to the magazine, Austin, Texas takes the top spot in cities with the most technology-related careers.
