Leeds, Birmingham and Belfast Earn High Marks in 2nd Annual UK Tech Town Index From CompTIA
LONDON, Dec. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/
Booming employment opportunities in the information technology (IT) field and a low cost of living elevated Leeds to the top of the
UK Tech Town Index 2020 published today by CompTIA, the nonprofit association for the global technology industry and workforce.

A healthy increase in tech employment opportunities and projections for continued job growth helped Leeds move up from the third spot last year to the top of the index in 2020. More than 11,300 IT jobs were posted in the Leeds travel-to-work area (TTWA) between September 2019 and August 2020.
Several factors contributed to Birmingham’s rise to the second spot. Employers advertised nearly 20,000 IT job postings over a 12-month period. Birmingham has a strong and growing presence in the mobile gaming and eGaming sector. IT salaries are 39% higher than the UK average for all occupations, while housing costs are below the UK average.
