The top metro area for Application Economy jobs is NewYork City (usa) and its surrounding suburban counties, although SanFrancisco and SanJose, California, together substantially exceed NewYork. While California tops the list of Application Economy states with nearly one in four jobs, states, including Georgia, Florida and Illinois (usa) get their share as well. In fact, the report found more than 2-3 of Application Economy employment is outside California and NewYork. The results also suggest that the Application Economy is growing quickly, and that the location and number of application development related jobs are likely to shift greatly in the years ahead. “America’s Application Economy—which had zero jobs just five years ago before the iPhone was introduced—demonstrates that we can quickly create economic value and jobs through cutting edge innovation,” said ReyRamsey, company president and CEO of TechNet. “The ApplicationEconomy is creating jobs in every part of America, employing hundreds of thousands of United States workers today and even more in the years to come.”
