Early last month, NCTA released our annual
North Carolina State of Technology Industry Report (NCSTIR) identifying strengths and opportunities that can lead to further economic growth in the state. The report provides an overview of the tech sector’s impact on North Carolina’s economy, including workforce composition and salary information, along with a comparison to other states in various categories. A summary of key findings was published as part of a printed 2017 North Carolina Tech Directory, which is distributed throughout the year. There is also a dedicated website that features highlights of the report:
www.NCSTIR.com
Some key metrics were released in the report that are important for the NC tech sector included:
- NC ranks #1 across all fifty states for IT Sector Employment Growth at 28.4 % between 2010-2015, double the national average
- NC ranks #1 in percentage of its tech workforce made up of women
- NC ranks 3rd in tech employment growth
- 20% of all North Carolina sales revenues are generated by the tech industry
