Important Enough To Be Historic
Texas and California lead the booming U.S. high-tech
industry, which has created more than a million jobs since 1993, providing a total annual payroll of more than $240 billion, according to Cyberstates 3.0, a report issued this month by the American Electronics Association.
The report shows that the U.S. high-tech industry employed an estimated 4.8 million workers in 1998, with Texas, California, Georgia, Colorado and Washington leading the way. From 1990 to 1997, Texas led the nation by creating more than 102,000 new high-tech jobs. California was second with 66,000 and Georgia third with 46,000.
The 1997 figures are based on the most recent data available from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, while 1998 figures are estimates based on comparisons between 1997 and previous years.
