My guesses based on experience of last 6 months - Austin, TX, Atlanta, GA,
Research Triangle NC, and Charlotte, NC are great hot spots for hi tech
jobs, particularly if they relate to finance in some way. Apparently from
what I've seen from other posters, Silicon Valley is still strong. But I'm
an East Coaster and few companies were looking to relocate a mere TW.
S'okay, I love my new job.
Other industries probably have different hot spots--I betcha real estate is
HUGE in Arizona and the Northwest part of the US. I would think
traditionally low-paying areas (deep South for one) are probably desperate
for good employees, but whether they're ready to start paying on par with
other markets is still a question.

By anyone's best guess, what are the the hottest job markets in the US
these days i.e. in what geographical location are companies the most
desperate for employees?
