Employment base grew 36% from 2014 to 2019
Middle Tennessee’s technology job base grew by more than a third in the past five years, picking up the pace from the middle of the decade. And while expansion will slow in the near future, the sector is still expected to handily outpace overall job growth.
A new report from the Department of Information Systems & Analytics at Middle Tennessee State University, produced in partnership with the Greater Nashville Technology Council, puts the number of tech workers in the 15-county greater Nashville area at 62,876, an increase of 36 percent from the number of 2014.
Two years ago, report author and MTSU professor Amy Harris calculated that growth over the previous five years had been 30 percent. (A change in methodology that now includes project management and business operations specialists means the actual number is also substantially larger than those from past reports.)
