The San Francisco Bay Area (436,740 tech talent workers) and the New York Metropolitan Area (389,290 workers) remain the two largest tech talent markets in 2023.
Canadian cities particularly had the highest tech job growth rates among North American cities between 2018 and 2023, with tech talent in Calgary growing by 78.1%, 51.7% in Ottawa, 44% in Toronto, and 30.7% in Vancouver.
Toronto added 95,900 tech talent jobs, the most out of all markets in North America. The major Canadian metropolitan is experiencing a tech “boom”, particularly due to the high concentration of AI talent in the city.
