A report published January 11 by Austin-based tech company Spanning Cloud Apps LLC shows workers in the Houston area can more than double their pay when they hold down a tech job. In fact, Houston ranks fifth among the country s largest metro areas for the pay advantage in tech occupations versus all occupations.
According to the report, the median annual pay for a Houston-area tech job stood at $91,190 in 2019. By comparison, the median annual pay for all occupations sat at $40,570. That puts the area s median tech pay 124.8 percent higher than the median pay for all occupations, giving Houston a fifth-place ranking in that category.
