High Tech Employment
Does your community have technology based businesses? If so, High-Tech companies could be looking for you.
According to recent studies, high-tech employment is making a moderate comeback. The most prosperous communities are those with technology based businesses. Technology fuels sustainable economic expansion - creating high-wage jobs, world-class exports, and productivity.
Today, we are in a transition period with an ever-increasing faster flow of information and communication. Technology, global competition, and globalization are changing the way we do business.
At one time, the conventional wisdom was "Create Jobs and the People will Come." Today, however, people are deciding where to live and bringing jobs with them. Technology such as e-mail, faxes, electronic data transfer, smart phone systems, the Internet, and Intranet have made it easier for people to live where they choose with the jobs they choose. Today, we can easily move our means of creating wealth.
A new report found that 61,000 net jobs were added to the hi-tech industry for a total of 5.6 million tech jobs in 2005, indicating a turnaround in the industry, according to a trade association.
This 1-percent increase is up from 44,700 in 2004 and 333,000 in 2003, said the American Electronics Association's ninth annual report entitled "Cyberstates 2006: A Complete State-by-State Overview of the High-Technology Industry."
