D.C. and New York are magnets for tech jobs - FierceCIO

Washington, D.C., and the New York metro region are the best places to look for IT jobs, outdistancing Silicon Valley and other tech-heavy regions, according to the Dice Report which tracks IT hiring trends.

D.C. is a very strong market, in part because the Obama administration is moving forward on transparency and relying on tech-heavy programs to help push the economic recovery forward. There are 50,000 job postings every day in the region, according to Dice. New York remains a strong market to get a job even though demand is off 44 percent because of the economic meltdown on Wall Street. Dice still clocks more than 5,000 open positions on any given day.
