Tech job openings surging in Austin and nationwide

[Neil Narayan]

Austin has had one of the most resilient job markets during the pandemic. It ranks third in the nation for fewest jobs lost since February 2020. A wave of relocations to Central Texas, which includes many tech companies, has grown during the pandemic, while giants such as Google Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Tesla Inc. continue to grow here.

Austin saw 6,202 tech job openings in March, an increase of more than 1,400 from the month prior and the fourth-largest month-over-month jump in the CompTIA listing.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, though, the number of open tech positions actually shrank in March, bucking the national trend.

Tech jobs are moving from higher cost cities to lower cost cities/remote. The Bay Area will always be Silicon Valley but there is a distribution of wealth trending.
