  • 1. San Jose
  • 2. San Francisco
  • 3. New York
  • 4. Lower Fairfield County, Conn./Westchester County, N.Y.
  • 5. Los Angeles

The bottom four of the 63 cities named in the research are:

  • 60. San Antonio
  • 61. Nashville
  • 62. Omaha
  • 63. Oklahoma City

Base: More than 50,000 IT workers in the U.S. and Canada
