Raleigh, NC #2 on the list!
Tech jobs in Raleigh have grown 38.5% from 2010-2015. The sector is growing almost as quickly as it is in Silicon Valley. Raleigh also has several accelerators and incubators such as Innovators Program and First Flight Venture Center.
Raleigh has a relatively lower cost of living too, compared with other established tech hubs. “I was attracted to Raleigh by the growing urban area, great weather, and overall amazing ratio of quality of life / cost of living balance,” said Will Bernholz, VP, Marketing for Dropsource. “Having lived and worked in expensive and hyper-fast-paced cities before (Beijing and NYC), I was ready for a smaller city experience.

The clean natural environment and easy access to nature here was also a big draw. ”
