San Diego

San Diego has become one of the top technology hubs in the country, according to a report from Cushman & Wakefield, which ranks the city ninth in the nation for its concentration of technology jobs. It’s a nice place to be. Technology industries contribute to local economic growth, office leasing and wage growth. The technology sector accounts for nearly 9% of total employment in San Diego.

Tech companies need access to capital and access to high-quality labor, and San Diego offers both. “Employment in technology industries, educated workforce and millennial population along with venture capital investment in the region are among the attributes that have placed San Diego on the top 10 U.S. tech markets list,” Jolanta Campion, research director for San Diego at Cushman & Wakefield, tells GlobeSt.com. As a result, the city has captured a broad swath of technology sectors, including cybersecurity, aerospace, navigation and maritime, software, health IT, bioinformatics and cleantech, all of which contribute to the tech job density in the market.
