"Tech jobs are one bright spot in the economy," Businessweek announces. "The hiring spree taking place in that sector isn't limited to Silicon Valley. Cities across the country are enjoying a boost in employment thanks to information technology jobs."
"The tech sector is fueling a job boom that stands in stark contrast to the malaise of the general job market. The nationwide unemployment rate ticked up to 9.2 percent in June, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. At the same time, the unemployment rate for tech professionals dropped to 3.3 percent, from 5.3 percent in January."

Claiming the No. 1 spot thanks to 107-percent growth, Cleveland saw the biggest boost in tech sector jobs in July compared to a year ago. Technology career website Dice.com tracks the cities with the biggest year-over-year growth in job listings.
