I would have to say that the hottest industries right now
(for technical writers) are telecommunications and e-commerce.
These are the types of ads I see the most, and they seem to keep
increasing in number. Documenting the software that supports
these industries seems to be the trend, but I'm sure there are just
as many needed to document the hardware, too. I'm pretty sure
this is a national trend, but I could be wrong (I looked at nation-
wide jobs about 6 mos. ago, but things may have changed).
Hope this helps. Oh, BTW, web development is another hot
area that many tech writers seem to be getting into, but some
might argue that this really isn't tech writing.
