Number of St. Louis tech jobs rises by 22 percent

Missouri was the fastest growing state for tech employment in 2012, according to Dice.com’s analysis of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And it appears as if the state is on its way to another banner year in 2013.

According to Dice’s analysis, Missouri has added 1,800 tech positions so far in 2013. And St. Louis continues to lead that charge.

St. Louis, as of Oct. 1, had 1,049 tech job postings, up from 950 in early September and 857 from the same time in 2012 — that’s a 22 percent year-over-year change.
