Tech Jobs In Florida! Florida Ranks #4 in Tech Jobs.

Florida ranks 4th in the nation for tech industry jobs and our area of South Florida leads the pack according to Cybercities 2007 report just released. 

There is a lot of competition among states to attract the high tech companies. Miami/Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties has 75,278 tech industry employees in 2005. They were paid an average annual wage of $61,600 and the employees working in the software part of the industry got paid an average of $86,400. 

Florida is the second fastest growing Cyberstate. Florida only trails California, Texas and New York. I am not sure that our legislature comprehends these facts because they are so slow to act on issues regarding high tech companies moving here. Florida has great potential to continue to grow in this area of Cybertech . The biggest obstacle is not finding enough people to work in the industry because the candidates do not have the proper certifications. This causes the companies to contract out the work instead of hiring full time employees. An option to this is to relocate the employees from Texas and California to come here to work and offer them relocation packages. The problem that creates is that there are lots of people who would love to relocate to Florida but do not want to take the cut in pay because the cost of living is lower in Florida.  

The Cybertech industry has a lot of potential but they will need to figure out a way to work the employee situation out by paying higher salaries or else they will hire cheaper workers from outside of the United States. So if the Legislature and Cybertech companies can work together and come up with some solutions we can see some great growth in this area.
