Bloomberg – The Unlikely Cities That Will Power the U.S. Economy: “..In San Diego, 9.3 percent of workers hold STEM jobs. The city kickstarted its tech economy by investing in local universities beginning in the 1960s. Durham, N.C., has a STEM labor force that’s 13.9 percent of all workers. Its biotech economy started with a sprawling research park that began to grow around the same time that Huntsville’s high-tech transformation was getting started. Cities like Omaha, Neb., and Chattanooga, Tenn., have courted Web startups by investing in high-speed Internet…Tech jobs have also proliferated in energy hubs, like Oklahoma City, Okla. and Denver, Colo. and around research institutions like the University of Wisconsin at Madison and Princeton University, in New Jersey. The top 20 metropolitan areas by STEM employment account for half the STEM jobs in Bloomberg’s analysis, leaving cities like Ann Arbor, Mich. and Boulder, Colo. to fight for the other half of America’s geologists, medical researchers, and computer programmers.”
