The West Coast looks east for hiring

Working in tech outside of Silicon Valley is a trend that started pre-covid, but accelerated rapidly with it.

At the start of 2019, 30% of the jobs for West Coast tech companies were listed outside of the region. That’s now 43%.

You could say the big winners here are states that attracted lots of this talent like Texas and Virginia, but then again, rent in Austin was up ~25% last year.
