There are tech jobs in every U.S. State and City, according to an American Electronics Association Cybercities 2008 and Cyberstates 2008 Reports (www.aeanet.org). Electronic downloads from Info Tech Employment, provide IT staffing and solutions firms in every U.S. State and City.

These IT Staffing and Solutions firms and their employees are creating a new paradigm for the flexible workforce driving the 21st Century economy. These firms provide IT staff augmentation, IT solutions, IT consulting services, and IT project management, to America's businesses.

The National Association of Computer Consultant Businesses (NACCB), an industry group for tech-consulting companies, provides evidence that, while the overall employment market continued to deteriorate, IT employment reached an all-time high in June. As the NAACB demonstrates in its name, computer staffing and solutions firms are big business. They place tech people.

Job markets attracting the highest number of job seekers from other parts of the country are New York, San Francisco and Boston.

Stable well-paid tech jobs in U.S. Federal, State, and City departments and agencies will continue to emerge.
