Nashville has officially emerged as one of the fastest-growing tech hubs in the nation, ranking 10th in the country for net tech job gains in 2024, according to the Computing Technology Industry Association’s newly released 2025 State of the Tech Workforce report.

In the past year, the Middle Tennessee metro area added 802 new tech jobs, bringing the total number of tech positions in the region to 63,204. The city also saw nearly 20,000 tech job postings, with over 2,400 of those requiring skills in artificial intelligence, indicating a growing demand for advanced technologies.

Leading the national rankings for tech job gains were New York City, Orlando, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, Baltimore, San Antonio, Albuquerque, Oklahoma City, and Charlotte.

Nashville’s expanding tech ecosystem includes Davidson, Rutherford, and Williamson counties, and now supports more than 7,400 tech-related businesses. The industry contributes an estimated $12.3 billion to the local economy. Key hiring sectors include technology, professional and scientific services, management firms, and finance and insurance.

The median annual wage for tech roles in the area is $100,856, which is more than double the region’s average wage, according to the report.

This growth is fueled by significant tech investments from companies like Oracle and Amazon, both of which have expanded their operations in the city in recent years. Since 2019, Nashville’s local tech workforce has grown by nearly 30%.

Looking ahead, Nashville is projected to add 2,719 more tech jobs by the end of 2025, placing it 13th nationwide in future job growth. Total tech employment in the region is expected to reach 65,923 by the end of the year, representing a 35% increase compared to 2019 levels.

While Nashville currently ranks 29th for overall tech employment, analysts anticipate that the region’s momentum will continue, outpacing national averages as the tech sector increasingly becomes a defining element of the local economy.
