The Technology Workforce Dashboard provides dynamic technology occupational and industry data that shows various features of the technology workforce in Massachusetts and its economic importance. The dashboard highlights key facets of technology employment across all industries, with a focus on careers that attract graduates with STEM degrees. Along with graphical representation of information directly related to occupations, such as educational attainment, pipeline, earnings, skills in demand, and job growth, the dashboard lays out demographic data, including age distribution, gender, and race-ethnicity, by technology job type.
The dashboard presents key metrics on technology occupations in which individuals carry out technical functions based on specialized skills in computer and information technology. Employees of companies that produce technology products and services, but are not in technology roles themselves, are incorporated in the technology industry figures. This includes business professionals in areas such as finance, marketing, accounting, administrative, and creative services. The term “total net tech employment” refers to the combination of these two categorizations of technology employees and is based on the framework that CompTIA uses in its Cyberstates reports.
