Engineers are still kings on the Silicon Valley labor market, but the landscape can change, according to a new analysis by Indeed. The vacancy agency noted a general decline in technology-related jobs in the valley in 2019.
Indeed, data from his job openings and site searches analyzed to determine which jobs in Silicon Valley were the most in demand, who made the most money, and which companies had the most job openings in the region.
Indeed, the decline may have been due to technology companies opening offices in new cities, such as Austin and New York, although there is no dramatic difference in the cost of living in both places compared to the Bay Area.
Indeed discovered that Amazon does the most recruitments in Silicon Valley and accounts for 4% of all technology related vacancies. Walmart is next on 3% of all offers.
