This year's roundup of anticipated tech advances includes an examination of the challenges in manufacturing these vaccines. And it describes how certain technologies used widely during the pandemic will likely have far-reaching effects on society, even after the threat subsides. You'll also find accounts of technical developments unrelated to the pandemic that the editors of IEEE Spectrum expect to generate news this year.
Making such predictions is, of course, risky. We trust, though, that whatever we may have missed won't possibly be as momentous as the earthshaker that we—indeed the whole world—didn't see coming 12 months ago. Here Are the Top Explore by topic. The Magazine The Institute. Furthermore, these big eight hubs are tightening their grip: Higher-salary technology occupations are becoming increasingly concentrated, while lower-salary technology jobs are dispersing slightly to the rest of the country.
In this sense, the US technology jobs landscape is becoming more unequal—yet another example of how the country is becoming increasingly differentiated and polarized.
The big eight tech hubs are not replicas of each other—labor markets differ among them significantly. Seattle is the tech hub with the fastest growth rate in tech-job openings. Rounding out the big eight, tech jobs in Washington, DC, Baltimore and Raleigh are more traditional and offer lower salaries, making these metros less like Silicon Valley than their fellow tech hubs. But, in these emerging tech metros, tech jobs have smaller footprints than in the eight big hubs. In the first half of , among the 51 largest metros in the US—those with at least 1 million people—technology job postings accounted for a higher share of all postings in San Jose than in any other metro.
The rest of the top eight are places with strong reputations as technology centers: Seattle, Raleigh, San Francisco, Austin, and Boston. The share of US tech-job openings in these eight hubs has been consistent for years, rising slightly from Furthermore, the metros in the top eight have been almost unchanged over the past five years. But, among this set of eight, some are on the rise, while others are losing share.
Seattle is gaining share in tech-job openings the most, followed by Washington and Baltimore. Still, the shifts in tech jobs among these eight hubs are bigger than any broader shift away from them to other parts of the US. Some metros outside these tech hubs are claiming a rising share of tech-job postings. But some tech-related occupations are even more concentrated in tech hubs, and these include higher-salary and faster-growing occupations. In fact, tech hubs not only have a larger share of higher-salary tech jobs than of other tech jobs, but these well-paying tech jobs are increasingly concentrated in these top metros.
For six job titles, more than half of job postings nationally are in the eight tech hubs: member of technical staff often a research position ; machine learning engineer; computer vision engineer; engineering program manager; software engineer; and database engineer.

This year, Facebook granted staffers paid time off to protest, while workers at Alphabet and Apple were allowed to participate in recent Pi Day protests.
Workers are also interested in work-life balance. Companies like Netflix provided unlimited vacation days, while Alphabet provides 18 weeks paid leave for new moms and maintains near-site child care centers adjacent to its headquarters. On the other side of the equation, companies on the list are looking for staffers with a range of technical skills, including web programming, software engineering management, Java development, cloud computing, statistical analysis and data mining, according to CNBC.
