In a 2023 column, census data revealed that tech employment in Seattle surged during the early years of the pandemic. From 2019 to 2022, the number of Seattle residents working in tech occupations jumped by roughly 10,000—from about 58,700 to a record 68,700—even as overall employment in the city barely budged. With that surge, tech workers accounted for about **15%** of the 467,500 employed residents in Seattle, or about **1 in 7 workers**. No other major U.S. city came close to matching that number, not even San Jose or San Francisco. The latest census data suggests that was the **high-water mark for tech in Seattle**. ### Seattle Ranks Second for Tech Workers Seattle ranked No. 2 in 2024 for the share of tech workers among its employed residents among the 50 largest U.S. cities. New 2024 estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey show the share of Seattle residents working in computer and mathematical occupations has declined, and Seattle is **no longer No. 1 among major cities**. An estimated 65,000 Seattle residents were employed in computer and mathematical occupations in 2024. That estimate is down by about 3,700 from 2022. While that decline isn’t statistically significant, given the survey’s margin of error, it’s a clear indication that the number of tech workers isn’t growing. And given recent layoffs, a lower estimate makes sense. And because total employment in the city grew by more than 20,000 to 488,000 in this period, that drop translates into tech workers making up a smaller share of the workforce—roughly **13%**, or about **1 in 8 workers**. **San Jose moved into the top spot among major cities**, though its share of tech workers is only slightly higher at **13.5%**. From 2019 through 2022, Seattle’s tech workforce expanded rapidly, fueled in large part by aggressive hiring at companies like **Amazon**, which added tens of thousands of employees nationwide. That hiring spree helped make tech an even more dominant force in the local economy. Since then, the momentum has reversed. Beginning in late 2022, major firms with large Seattle footprints, including **Amazon, Microsoft and Meta**, announced layoffs, hiring freezes and internal restructuring. Thousands of tech jobs were cut. Even with the decline, Seattle’s tech footprint still exceeds that of San Francisco, which ranked third at around **11%**. Austin, Texas, (**10%**) and Washington, D.C., (**7%**) rounded out the top five. Miami had the lowest share of tech workers among its employed population, at just around **2%**. Fresno, Calif.; Detroit; El Paso, Texas; and Memphis were only slightly higher. Tech jobs typically pay very well. Last year, the median earnings for King County residents employed in “computer and mathematical” jobs—the census category overwhelmingly composed of tech workers—**hit $163,600**. No other job category came close to that figure. Those high wages have supported consumer spending and boosted tax revenues, so a decline in tech hiring will ripple through the city’s economy. By raw numbers rather than percentages, Seattle ranked fourth among the largest cities for tech workers. New York was No. 1 with nearly **188,000 people** employed in tech jobs, but they accounted for only about **5%** of the city’s total employment of 4.15 million. In 2022, Redmond ranked No. 1 among all cities with at least 65,000 residents for the share of tech workers, and that’s still true in the 2024 data. Nearly **17,000 residents** were employed in tech occupations, representing almost **36%** of the 47,500 employed people living in Microsoft’s hometown.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techjobs</category> <category>seattle</category> <category>sanjose</category> <category>techindustry</category> <category>layoffs</category> <enclosure url="https://images.seattletimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/12292025_FYI-Guy_tzr_111855.jpg?d=1200x630" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Virginia Invests $6.2M to Launch Tech, Trades & Aviation Careers – No Degree Required!]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/virginia-invests-62m-to-launch-tech-trades-aviation-careers-no-degree-required</link> <guid>virginia-invests-62m-to-launch-tech-trades-aviation-careers-no-degree-required</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 30 Dec 2025 20:15:15 GMT</pubDate> <description>< ### Where the Funding is Headed The grants will be distributed across multiple regions in Virginia, including: - **Northern Virginia** - **Central Virginia** - **Hampton Roads** - **Southwest and Southern Virginia** - **The Roanoke and New River Valley regions** State officials say the funding will help **expand job training pipelines**, support small businesses, and strengthen regional economies. The projects are expected to leverage an additional **$4 million in outside investment**. ### Targeted Career Fields The funding prioritizes training for a wide range of in-demand careers: - **Skilled trades** including electrical, HVAC, carpentry, plumbing, and industrial maintenance - **Technology and AI-related fields** - **Aviation maintenance** - **Advanced manufacturing** - **Life and health sciences** - **Entrepreneurship and small business development**  ### Northern Virginia Focus Several grants specifically impact Northern Virginia, with projects aimed at: - **Training workers for high-demand tech roles** - **Supporting life sciences and digital health careers** - **Helping job seekers adapt to changing federal hiring practices** - **Expanding employer-connected training and internship opportunities** State officials say these efforts are designed to keep Northern Virginia competitive in a rapidly changing job market. ### Why This Matters Virginia leaders say the funding addresses **workforce shortages** while helping residents access **higher-paying, in-demand jobs** — often without requiring a traditional four-year degree. Some programs will introduce students to career pathways as early as middle school, while others focus on career switchers and adult workers.  ### Program Impact Since 2022, the GO Virginia program has supported: - The creation or expansion of **more than 2,000 businesses** - The generation of **25,000 jobs** - Training programs that have served **tens of thousands of Virginians** The funded projects will roll out over the coming months, with additional updates expected as programs expand and accept participants. A full list of funded projects is available through the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>virginia</category> <category>workforcetraining</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>careerdevelopment</category> <category>grants</category> <enclosure url="https://images.foxtv.com/static.fox5dc.com/www.fox5dc.com/content/uploads/2025/12/1280/720/gettyimages-1415794525-170667a-2.jpg?ve=1&tl=1" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI's Hidden Cost: How Automation is Crushing the Creative Career Ladder]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ais-hidden-cost-how-automation-is-crushing-the-creative-career-ladder</link> <guid>ais-hidden-cost-how-automation-is-crushing-the-creative-career-ladder</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 30 Dec 2025 13:15:13 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *Illustration by Albert Tercero* **December 30, 2025, 6 AM ET** One of the first sentences I was ever paid to write was “Try out lighter lip stick colors, like peach or coral.” Fresh out of college in the mid 2010s, I’d scored a copy job for a how-to website. An early task involved expanding upon an article titled “How to Get Rid of Dark Lips.” For the next two years, I worked on articles with headlines such as “How to Speak Like a Stereotypical New Yorker (With Examples),” “How to Eat an Insect or Arachnid,” and “How to Acquire a Gun License in New Jersey.” I didn’t get rich or win literary awards, but I did learn how to write a clean sentence, convey information in a logical sequence, and modulate my tone for the intended audience—skills that I use daily in my current work in screenwriting, film editing, and corporate communications. Just as important, the job paid my bills while I found my way in the entertainment industry. **Artificial intelligence has rendered my first job obsolete.** Today, if you want to learn “How to Become a Hip Hop Music Producer,” you can just ask ChatGPT. AI is also displacing the humans doing many of my subsequent jobs: writing promotional copy for tourism boards, drafting questions for low-budget documentaries, offering script notes on student films. Today, a cursory search for *writing jobs* on LinkedIn pulls up a number of positions that involve not producing copy but training AI models to sound more human. When anyone can create a logo or marketing copy at the touch of a button, why hire a new graduate to do it? These shifts in the job market won’t deter everyone. Well-connected young people with rich families can always afford to network and take unpaid jobs. But by eliminating entry-level jobs, **AI may destroy the ladder of apprenticeship necessary to develop artists**, and it could leave behind a culture driven by nepo babies and chatbots. The existential crisis is spreading across the creative landscape. Last year, the consulting firm CVL Economics estimated that artificial intelligence would disrupt more than 200,000 entertainment-industry jobs in the United States by 2026. The CEO of an AI music-generation company claimed in January that most musicians don’t actually enjoy making music, and that musicians themselves will soon be unnecessary. In a much-touted South by Southwest talk earlier this year, Phil Wiser, the chief technology officer of Paramount, described how AI could streamline every step of filmmaking. Even the director James Cameron—whose classic work *The Terminator* warned of the dangers of intelligent machines, and whose forthcoming *Avatar* sequel will reportedly include a disclaimer that no AI was involved in making the film—has talked about using the technology to cut costs and speed up production schedules. Last year, the chief technology officer of OpenAI declared that “some creative jobs maybe will go away, but maybe they shouldn’t have been there in the first place.” One great promise of generative AI is that it will free artists from drudgery, allowing them to focus on the sort of “real art” they all long to do. It may not cut together the next *Magnolia*, but it’ll do just fine with the 500th episode of *Law & Order*. *What’s the harm*, studio executives might wonder, *if machines take over work that seems unchallenging and rote to knowledgeable professionals?* The problem is that **entry-level creative jobs are much more than grunt work**. Working within established formulas and routines is how young artists develop their skills. Hunter S. Thompson began his writing career as a copy boy for *Time* magazine; Joan Didion was a research assistant at *Vogue*; the director David Lean edited newsreels; the musician Lou Reed wrote knockoff pop tunes for department stores; the filmmakers Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme, and Francis Ford Coppola shot cheap B movies for Roger Corman. Beyond the money, which is usually modest, low-level creative jobs offer practice time and pathways for mentorship that side gigs such as waiting tables and tending bar do not. Having begun my own transition into filmmaking by making rough cuts of video footage for a YouTube channel, I couldn’t help but be alarmed when the makers of the AI software Eddie launched an update in September that can produce first edits of films. For that YouTube channel, I shot, edited, and published three videos a week, and I received rigorous producer notes and near-immediate audience feedback. You can’t help but get better at your craft that way. These jobs are also where you meet people: One of the producers at that channel later commissioned my first produced screenplay for Netflix. There’s a reason the Writers Guild of America, of which I am a member, made on-set mentorship opportunities for lower-level writers a plank of its negotiations during the 2023 strike. The WGA won on that point, but it may have been too late. The optimistic case for AI is that new artistic tools will yield new forms of art, much as the invention of the camera created the art of photography and pushed painters to explore less realistic forms. The proliferation of cheap digital video cameras helped usher in the indie-film explosion of the late 1990s. I’ve used several AI tools in ways that have widely expanded my capabilities as a film editor. Working from their bedrooms, indie filmmakers can deploy what, until recently, were top-tier visual-effects capabilities. Musicians can add AI instruments to their compositions. Perhaps AI models will offer everyone unlimited artistic freedom without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Tech companies tend to rhapsodize about the democratizing potential of their products, and AI technology may indeed offer huge rewards to the savvy and lucky artists who take maximum advantage of it. Yet past experience from social media and streaming music suggests a different progression: Like other technologies that promise digital democratization, **generative AI may be better poised to enrich the companies that develop it than to help freelance creatives make a living**. In an ideal world, the elimination of entry-level work would free future writers from having to write “How to Be a Pornstar” in order to pay their rent, allowing true creativity to flourish in its place. At the moment, though, AI seems destined to squeeze the livelihoods of creative professionals who spend decades mastering a craft. Executives in Silicon Valley and Hollywood don’t seem to understand that the cultivation of art also requires the cultivation of artists.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>creativejobs</category> <category>careerladder</category> <category>automation</category> <category>entertainment</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/eFovD9sEZnQJZJ55BaDr8yiYHEI=/0x43:2000x1085/1200x625/media/img/mt/2025/12/TheAtlantic10/original.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[California's $286M Tech Job Boom: How State Funding Is Creating Thousands of High-Paying Science & Tech Careers]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/californias-286m-tech-job-boom-how-state-funding-is-creating-thousands-of-high-paying-science-tech-careers</link> <guid>californias-286m-tech-job-boom-how-state-funding-is-creating-thousands-of-high-paying-science-tech-careers</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 29 Dec 2025 20:15:13 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## California's Massive Investment in Tech and Science Jobs According to the state-run program **California Jobs First**, more than **$286 million** have been allocated toward creating high-paying jobs in **science and technology fields**. This initiative is transforming the employment landscape across the Golden State. ### Impact Across 13 Regions Numbers published by the program’s website show that more than **10,000 people** in communities across the state have been hired for jobs or benefitted from job training programs created by California Jobs First across **13 distinct regions** of California. Jobs in those 13 regions, according to the California Jobs First program, are in distinct geographical regions that the program designated as: - North State - Redwood - Capital - Sierra - Bay Area - Northern San Joaquin - Central San Joaquin - Central Coast - Kern County - Los Angeles County - Inland Southern California - Orange County - Southern Border More than **1,000 communities** in those 13 regions in total are positively impacted by the jobs created, according to a database showing jobs created by the program. ### Strategic Regional Development “California Jobs First embodies the recognition that California’s diverse regions each have their own challenges and opportunities and, as such, require a tailored approach to economic and workforce development,” said Stewart Knox, secretary of the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency in a report released earlier this year. “Through this first-of-its-kind state investment, California is empowering regions with the tools and funding to chart their own futures in a manner that is inclusive and equitable.” ### Real-World Training Programs One such job training project the money went toward was a **semiconductor training program** for high school and college students, according to California State University, Fullerton. The **$80,000 grant**, originally from the California Jobs First Program, went to the Orange County Business Council, which then granted the money to CSU Fullerton to train students in jobs in the semiconductor industry. “The project responds to regional workforce shortages and employer needs by offering a structured continuum of training,” said Kenneth John Faller II, a professor of electrical and computer engineering and project director. ### Program Origins and Industry Focus According to the program’s January 2025 report, the California Jobs First initiative was launched in **2021** to create more high-paying jobs across the state at a quick pace. So far, roughly $286 million has been allocated across all 13 geographic regions to pay for jobs ranging from **aerospace and defense** to **hardware and software services**. The report also detailed projects that helped fuel job creation in various communities throughout the state, with different regions focusing on different priority industries: - **Northern California**: Forests and watersheds, natural resources and health - **Redwood communities**: Clean energy and recreation and tourism - **Capitol region**: Biotechnology, precision manufacturing and business services - **Sierra region**: Tourism and outdoor recreation - **Bay Area**: Aerospace science, life science and high tech - **Los Angeles County**: Transports and logistics, advanced manufacturing and working lands and water This strategic investment represents a significant commitment to building California's future workforce in critical technology and science sectors.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techjobs</category> <category>california</category> <category>workforce</category> <category>stem</category> <category>funding</category> <enclosure url="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/iStock-1483251775-scaled.jpg?resize=1200,683" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Unlocking Tech Dreams in Memphis: How Affordable Training Is Creating a $40M Economic Impact]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/unlocking-tech-dreams-in-memphis-how-affordable-training-is-creating-a-40m-economic-impact</link> <guid>unlocking-tech-dreams-in-memphis-how-affordable-training-is-creating-a-40m-economic-impact</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 25 Dec 2025 20:15:26 GMT</pubDate> <description><]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techtraining</category> <category>careergrowth</category> <category>workforcedevelopment</category> <category>nonprofit</category> <category>memphis</category> <enclosure url="https://media.tegna-media.com/assets/WATN/images/c8542229-17aa-493a-bf4b-25c2624d8a00/20251211T033351/c8542229-17aa-493a-bf4b-25c2624d8a00_1140x641.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI Job Apocalypse Delayed: Why Your Career Is Safer Than You Think (Until At Least 2026)]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ai-job-apocalypse-delayed-why-your-career-is-safer-than-you-think-until-at-least-2026</link> <guid>ai-job-apocalypse-delayed-why-your-career-is-safer-than-you-think-until-at-least-2026</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 24 Dec 2025 13:15:15 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## The AI Job Market Reality Check You've probably heard the warnings: **AI is coming for your job**, and soon. If you work in fields like coding, writing, or research, you might be especially concerned. But what's the real timeline? Are we looking at massive disruption by 2026? ### Key Takeaways: Separating Fact from Fear - There's **little evidence** that AI is replacing workers at scale in 2025 - Current hiring trends are driven more by **broader economic factors** than automation - Experts suggest fears of major AI-driven job losses may be **overblown** ### The Current Impact: Minimal and Localized While some companies have reportedly used AI to automate certain tasks, it hasn't had broad effects on the labor market. According to Chris Martin, lead researcher at Glassdoor: "Results have mostly turned up nothing yet. There's very scant evidence that AI has replaced workers in 2025." Even the higher unemployment rate for recent college graduates (4.8% versus 4% for all workers) appears to be more about economic shifts and increased degree attainment than AI replacing entry-level positions. ### What This Means For You Even as tech leaders warn of coming AI job losses, experts suggest these claims may be exaggerated. Any changes to your work are likely to be **gradual rather than sudden**. This gives you time to experiment with AI tools to understand where they can help and where your human skills remain superior. ### The Timeline: Years, Not Months When might broader automation actually occur? Research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas suggests it may not happen in the next decade. Their analysis of past technological predictions reveals that "many jobs once feared to be at risk didn't end up showing major decline in employment data." Martha Gimbel, executive director of the Budget Lab at Yale, emphasizes the time factor: "It has only been three years [since ChatGPT was released]. It would be unprecedented if a new technology had massively disrupted the workforce in three years. These kinds of things take time." ### Practical Advice for Workers For those in **AI-exposed careers**, the best approach is proactive experimentation: - **Test AI tools** in your daily work to understand their capabilities and limitations - Identify tasks where **AI struggles** and your human skills excel - Use this knowledge to **leverage AI where it works** for your profession - Gain perspective on how far the technology is from actually replacing you This gradual approach gives workers time to adapt and understand how AI fits into their roles rather than fearing immediate replacement.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>jobs</category> <category>automation</category> <category>career</category> <category>future</category> <enclosure url="https://www.investopedia.com/thmb/aSP5RK7YemWmS4R8E2V0Z4ca5WM=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/GettyImages-1487035057-23cb4cfe7b234bf981735b2e6b6760d5.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
