Yesterday we took a look at markets around the country with the highest levels of employment in Financial and Technology areas.  Please refer back to yesterday’s Daily Data Discussion post for an explanation of where we harvest the data, and the rationale for tracking this information. 

Here are the markets with the lowest percentages of total employees employed in Financial and Technology jobs.  The market average for this category in our database is 7.6%, the median 7.1%.  Note that the values reported represent a 6 month rolling average of the data. 

1.  Billings, MT  1.2%
2.  Flagstaff, AZ  3.3%
3.  Bellingham, WA  3.6%
4.  Laredo, TX   3.7%
5.  Olympia, WA   3.8%

Tomorrow we’ll begin a look at our Job Growth / Supply Growth ratio, a very interesting parameter for the multifamily investor.
