California Cybercities 2006: An Overview of California's Largest High-Technology Metropolitan AreasSome good news for Sacramento. While the total number of technology jobs in California decreased by 1% the total number of technology jobs in Sacramento increased by 1%. This qualified Sacramento to be named as the fastest growing cybercity, followed by Riverside - San Bernardino, Fresno, and Santa Barbara. Statewide, the decreases have slowed from those reported in 2002 and 2003.
Not such great news, tthe average wage for high tech workers in Sacramento is considerably lower than the statewide average. Statewide's $90,600 compared to Sacramento's $72,495. The highest wage was found in Silicon Valley - $126,700. High tech wages were 106% of the state's average private-sector wage.
