It’s a good time to be working in tech, no matter where you live in the US.
The non-profit trade association Computing Technology Industry Association, or CompTIA, recently found that tech workers make, on average, $108,900 throughout the US.
That being said, tech workers in some states stand to earn more than their counterparts in other parts of the country.
And while, expectedly, California techies skew the curve by earning more than $150,000 on average a year, CompTIA also found that you don’t necessarily have to move to Silicon Valley if you want to earn more than $100,000 a year.
Here are the states (plus Washington DC) where tech workers stand to earn the highest salaries:
