North Texas Ranks Among Country’s Hottest Metros for Tech Job Postings (June 2026)

The corporate boom has also brought tech companies along with it.

The country’s broad AI transformation and digital transformation, two macro trends that have been driving up tech postings recently, could also end up leading to more tech jobs in greater Dallas. This is a region that’s less obviously tech-heavy than cities like Austin or San Francisco, but does see a rising tech demand through its growing professional services sector and concentration of corporate headquarters. Dallas is growing into one of the cities probably at the forefront of those two activities.

Among the country's top metros, a significant percentage of businesses in Dallas-Fort Worth answered "yes" to the question: "In the last two weeks, did this business use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in any of its business functions?" The U.S. Census Bureau started collecting this data in late 2025.

Key Market Rankings & Volume

• Top Tier Postings: D-FW, with nearly 11,000 tech job postings last month, ranked behind only New York and Washington, D.C., which counted around 19,000 and 17,000, respectively.

• Financial Tech Strength: North Texas also had about 1,000 tech job postings from the finance sector, a number that was second only to New York.

• Remote Flexibility: The region recorded around 2,300 postings for remote tech roles, a figure that ranked behind only New York and Washington, D.C.

The local postings only add more workforce volume to what’s already become one of the country’s largest tech hubs. As of last year, according to CompTIA’s 2026 annual report, D-FW counted a total of 377,000 people working either as tech workers or in the tech industry — a number that ranked behind only New York among U.S. metro areas.

Economic Impact and Projections

For 2026, the IT company projected D-FW would have 232,000 tech workers across all industries, behind only New York and Washington, D.C., and ahead of Los Angeles and San Francisco. (CompTIA’s report counted San Francisco and San Jose as separate metro areas.)

The regional economy’s underlying makeup — including its growing presence as a finance and professional services hub — means the local tech postings are likely to keep coming.
