#3I don't understand why Indeed breaks up San Jose / Sunnyvale / Santa Clara and San Francisco / Oakland / Hayward, and also fails to include Palo Alto, Mountain View, Menlo Park, Cupertino, etc. It completely distorts the proportion of fast growing jobs that are in these 8 tech hubs.

#4Without looking, I'm going to guess (in no particular order):
- Cambridge/Boston
- DC metro area
- Austin
- Bay area
- Seattle
- NYC
- Philadelphia
- LA or San Diego
EDIT:
Hm, got most right. I forgot about the Triangle entirely, but I'm surprised Baltimore outpaced Philly.

#5Can anyone speak to.the job market in the DC metro? I've been thinking a lot about moving back to the east coast and DC seems like a decent trade off between cost of living and interesting jobs (compared to my home NYC).
What kind of jobs are in DC, what's the salary range like?

The reason is that they broke it down by MSA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Metropolitan_Statistic.... Palo Alto and nearby cities are in the San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara MSA.

#7Baltimore and Raleigh are tech hubs, and New York is not?
In 2000 when the dot-com's went bust, things were not so bad for IT in New York because the other industries were still going along - media, advertising, fashion, and of course, finance. San Francisco has all its eggs in one basket.
Plus New York has Stack Overflow, Spotify, Computer Associates, IBM, Seamless, Rockstar Games, Kickstarter and companies like that as well.

#8Breaking out SF from "Silicon Valley" seems like an outdated approach to segment the data. I would say for the past decade, "Silicon Valley" includes SF, Peninsula through San Jose for all intents and purposes. I see people, who live in SF, commute down to Peninsula and vice versa. The job market in the Bay Area is all pretty fluid.

Ah, thank you.
When they go on to infer that fast growing jobs come out of the hubs, their adherence to that standard distorts the numbers downwards. Reader beware.

I find it interesting to see the difference. I moved from San Jose to work in the city 8 years ago and to me, anecdotally, it's always felt like that was a trend, startups were coming to SF and so was the talent and that "silicon valley" was the tech hub 10-15 years ago. So seeing real data that's showing what's actually happening is very interesting to me. I'd like to see more break downs of south bay vs SF/Oakland tech jobs and startup growth.
