STEM Job Hot Spots: The Top Eight Areas

Although the professional, scientific, and technical industry sector makes up only 6 percent of the U.S. workforce, it was responsible for 10 percent of national job growth from 2010 to 2012, illustrating our nation’s march toward a more technical, STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) type workforce. Within the industry, there are over 9.2 million jobs, driven by sub-sectors like computer system design services and management, scientific, and technical consulting services.

The following eight areas have the highest concentration of these industries:

  • Maryland
  • Washington, D.C.

  • Massachusetts
  • New Jersey
