The latest annual report by the Raleigh-based NC TECH Association said that the industry has 323,199 workers or 6.7% of the state’s workforce. The state’s tech sector is building upon its momentum in recent years and edging higher in national rankings.
Based upon 2023 statistics, the industry’s five-year growth of 18.8% was the eighth highest growth rate in the U.S. and advanced from 10th place a year earlier.
“North Carolina’s tech economy is benefitting from strong levels of domestic migration, foreign direct investment, new business starts and a lower cost of living,’’ the report said. The state ranked among the top 15 states for each of these metrics.
