Rising unemployment and constant media attention focused on the national recession has many worried about their jobs. Although many industries have been hit particularly hard, some sectors continue to provide jobs. According to a recent report from TechAmerica, certain areas are still creating new technology jobs.
TechAmerica’s yearly Cyberstates report found that one of the best areas in the country for jobs in technology is Virginia. The state ranked 5th in the nation, showing that employers in the area added 5,300 jobs in 2007, which was a 2 percent increase.
The most recent data available for many states comes from 2007. The problem with this is the fact that the effects from the recession won’t show up in this information.
