New York has surpassed the San Francisco Bay Area in total tech worker headcount, with a growth of over 30,000 workers between 2022 and 2025. This shift is largely attributed to the financial services industry's increasing demand for AI talent, a sector where New York's tech workforce is more broadly distributed than San Francisco's high-tech concentration.
