I hope there is someone who knows how to code in this community to parse the results and do a nice visualization. I have a cousin who knows about computers, if noone knows here how to do it, I can ask him to try. He always helps me with my printer.

I'll try to whip up an Excel macro over the weekend, but I can't promise anything.

US: California

California doesn't have to be the center for tech anymore as the world has shifted to a distributed workforce. The US doesn't, for that matter, and you can tell it's happening due to all of the new international investments.

I have heard the hypothesis that the main reason Silicon Valley was able to grow is because non compete clauses are invalid in California. So people can start a side business competing with their employer, and only risk being fired (as long as they dont steal IP) They could also freely hop from company to company without waiting in between.
