Haven't seen any stats, but tech writing thrives in Atlanta. I've seen
many, many opportunities for those with 2+ years experience.
Interestingly, the company I work for can't seem to find enough entry
level people, either. The Human Resource Mgr has been around asking
personally for referals because we need more entry level writers,
editors and instructional designers. The day I accepted my current
position (Multimedia Specialist/Junior Tech Writer), I had offers from
two other companies.
