Technology Jobs Are On The Rise In Dallas
Technology moves our world forward. With new phone apps to make our life on the go easier and advancements in computers becoming the size of watches, jobs in technology are booming in the DFW area. Dallas is a top player in the game of technology giants against Austin and California.
Social media management wasn't a career option 20 years ago. Now, positions in social media rank high amongst emerging jobs in the 21st century. Also positions for those that create infrastructure for business hardware and software are on the rise. Defense contractors, private corporations, schools, hospitals and hospitality all run on computers and want the best people to help them grow.
People with advanced degrees are best poised to take advantage of DFW's job growth.
According to U.S. Department of Labor Statistics, newly created jobs were made in the business and professional services areas.

James Bandy, CEO of Brainband, a technology services company that provides wireless Internet services for large venues at Dallas' Fair Park as well as provides instructional design and production of courses for online education companies, said, "A master's tells others that you have a higher level of competency.
