The Job Market in Boston

While the national unemployment rate stands at 4.1 percent, the Massachusetts unemployment rate remains lower at 3.9 percent. Nationwide, the tech unemployment rate achieves an impressive 2.6 percent.

Demonstrating technical skills remains one of the best strategies for acquiring and maintaining continuous employment. However, not all technology skills are valued equally.
