The Raleigh-Durham metro area is one of the best environments in the nation for information technology companies to find and retain highly skilled workers, says a new report from KLG Advisors. According to KLG’s IT Market View report, Raleigh-Durham had the highest IT labor force concentration of any metro area in the United States.
KLG’s report spotlights U.S. metro areas that have the necessary ingredients to provide a skilled workforce for IT companies such as the current scale of IT talent pool, cost of IT talent, concentration of IT talent relative to the overall labor force, recent trends in IT talent pool growth and output of new IT talent from proximate colleges and universities.
While the North Carolina metro scored well in several categories, Raleigh-Durham scored “very strong” for having a high concentration of IT talent and for output of new IT talent from proximate colleges and universities.
In November, Newsweek magazine called North Carolina’s Raleigh-Durham a “New Silicon Valley,” and said the area is “where the brains are headed.”
