The Seattle area had the seventh-most tech job postings of any U.S. city, according to Dice's recent Q2 Tech Job Report. The ranking is down from sixth in Dice's first-quarter report.
The report from Dice, which connects tech workers with employers, found that Seattle had no change in its volume of tech job postings from the first quarter to the second. Other than Seattle and Raleigh, North Carolina, which saw a 4% decrease, every city in the top 50 saw a quarter-over-quarter increase in the number of tech job postings.
Amazon.com Inc., meanwhile, led all employers in job posting volume nationwide in the second quarter, according to the report. The Boeing Co. came in sixth.
"With (Amazon) CEO Jeff Bezos having stepped down from his longtime role, with all the potential uncertainty that entails, the company will need to lean on technologists with a variety of skills, including cloud architecture and artificial intelligence (A.I.) if it wants to maintain its lead in aggressive markets," the report read.
The state of Washington, meanwhile, saw a 5% decline in the number of job postings from the first quarter to the second. Washington was the only state in the report, which also included the District of Columbia, to see a quarter-over-quarter decline. The state had the 10th-most job postings of any state, dropping from ninth in the first quarter.
New York City had the most tech job postings of any U.S. city, followed by Atlanta. The next three were Chicago, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
Dice analyzed more than 1 million tech job postings from April to June. Overall, there was a 16% jump in tech job postings in the U.S. from the first quarter to the second quarter.
"To put the relative strength of the quarter in perspective, postings were up 29% from the pandemic-suppressed second quarter of 2020 and, impressively, 9% over the second quarter of 2019," the report read.
