I would expect that to effect the big 3 as well: San Fran, San Jose and Seattle

- brenden2 7y agoThey're big, but nowhere near as big as NYC. NYC alone is larger than the whole SF Bay Area combined (around ~8.6m vs ~7.75m).
- omarhaneef 7y agoI would look at the base of tech jobs, not the population of the city as a whole. Perhaps I misread the study, but it also looks like they were counting the absolute number of new jobs, not the percentage over the population.
- nyc640 7y agoThe study covered the time period 2005-2017, which coincides with the rapid growth of tech in the Bay Area (particularly SF) so it makes more sense in that context.
- omarhaneef 7y agoYeah, I guess the top 3 have so much momentum. I was just surprised to see that Boston, San Diego, Raleigh, Madison beat out Austin and NYC in absolute numbers.
- ghaff 7y agoThe numbers don't include finance which is probably why no NYC. San Diego is a bit surprising but Boston presumably counts all the biotech in Cambridge in addition to the satellite offices of the various West Coast "tech" companies and other high-tech.
- wayoutthere 7y agoThis; the "satellite effect" is huge in NYC -- sometimes the NYC satellite campuses are bigger than the main ones. If a company has a second location, it's usually NYC.
