New York Dethrones San Francisco Bay Area As Largest Tech Talent Market
fjo3 shares a report from SFGATE: The San Francisco Bay Area, epicenter of the artificial intelligence boom, is home to a massive amount of tech workers employed by some of the world's most valuable companies, from Apple to Nvidia. But for the first time, New York has eclipsed the Bay Area as the home of the largest "tech talent workforce," a report by real estate and investment firm CBRE shows.…
CBRE's annual report reveals that New York has now overtaken the San Francisco Bay Area as the largest tech talent market in the United States. The Bay Area, known for its dominance in artificial intelligence, previously held this title. According to the report, the New York Metro Area now employs 394,300 tech workers, surpassing the Bay Area's 375,730.
The Bay Area's tech workforce saw a 6% decline from 2022 to 2025, likely due to mass layoffs. Conversely, New York's tech talent workforce expanded by over 8% during the same period. Despite this, the Bay Area is expected to remain a central hub for AI innovation and industry growth, according to Colin Yasukochi, executive director of CBRE's Tech Insights Center.
