They're measuring jobs created in the same commuting area as high-tech jobs. This seems like a poor metric: operations like Google put the high-tech jobs in a few places and the low-tech jobs in other places. There's no reason to co-locate them, so they can each be where the labor with the right skills is available. They don't specify whether gig jobs (like Uber drivers) are included. At any rate, these are rarely colocated with the high-tech jobs so they wouldn't count for much in their methodology anyway.
