Orlando Tech Workers Earn Over 100% More Than Other Industries in the Region
Metro Orlando tech workers earn more than their non-tech counterparts, according to a new report. A new deep dive into tech salaries by tech trade association CompTIA found that the median tech wage for Orlando's tech workers was $87,114, or 132% higher than the overall median wage. The percentage difference is slightly higher than the national average — the median tech wage in the U.S. was $100,615, or 103% higher than the median national wage. In other words, metro Orlando has a stronger showing than the U.S. average. Metro Orlando has 67,061 tech jobs, comprising about 4.7% of the region's total jobs. CompTIA says Orlando should be adding 1,735 tech jobs in 2023. "The percentage of tech jobs in Orlando will continue to grow,” said Carol Ann Logue, director of programs and operations at the University of Central Florida’s Innovation Districts & Incubation Program.
