North Texas’ economy is emerging as a formidable tech hub, with the Dallas-Fort Worth area counting nearly 11,000 tech-related job postings last month, the third-most among all U.S. metro areas. The region had around 270 more tech job postings compared with a month earlier, the sixth-highest increase among metro areas.
Tech Industry Growth
The tech-related postings don’t translate perfectly into job gains, but they do offer a strong indication of where employment in the sector is headed, said Seth Robinson, vice president of industry research at CompTIA. The country’s broad AI transformation and digital transformation could also end up leading to more tech jobs in greater Dallas.
The number of tech professionals working in all industries increased by 69,000 workers across the U.S., according to CompTIA’s analysis, while the tech industry added 6,700 jobs. The uptick comes after a mostly flat 2025, with the number of tech employees across all industries rising by around 270,000 workers this year.
Local Impact
North Texas also had about 1,000 tech job postings from the finance sector, a number that was second only to New York, and around 2,300 postings for remote tech roles, a figure that ranked behind only New York and Washington, D.C. The local postings only add more workforce volume to what’s already become one of the country’s largest tech hubs.
