CBRE's 2026 Scoring Tech Talent report says New York became North America's largest tech-talent market in 2025. It estimates 394,300 people in technical occupations in New York Metro and 375,730 in the San Francisco Bay Area—a New York lead of about 4.9%.

CBRE counts people in more than 20 technical occupations across every industry. A software developer at a bank, hospital or government agency counts; a recruiter or salesperson at a software company generally does not. CBRE also continues to rank the SF Bay Area first on its overall tech-talent scorecard, with New York fourth.

The estimate prompted us to look at what current job postings are saying: where hiring demand is strongest, and which technology fields are driving it.

What current Corvi Careers job postings show

Active, unexpired listings in the August 22, 2026 production snapshot. Each row is a separate lens; role subsets overlap.

The SF Bay Area has substantially more technology job postings, and its lead grows as the role definition becomes more software- and AI-specific. New York has a marginally broader set of employers advertising at least one core-tech role, an important sign of breadth that we return to below.

The core-tech measure combines Corvi Careers' Software, Data & AI and IT, Cloud, Security & Enterprise Platforms families. It includes software and data roles as well as IT management, support and operations, systems administration, networking, cybersecurity, identity and access management, cloud, DevOps and SRE, enterprise applications, solution architecture, systems integration and technical support.

The ML/AI row counts postings matched to Corvi Careers' dedicated Machine Learning & AI role category; it does not count every technology posting that mentions an AI skill. Software engineering likewise refers to the general Software Engineering role category, not every role in the broader software family. The 3,415 SF Bay Area ML/AI postings are therefore 19.3% of our core-tech total, but that percentage is not directly comparable with CBRE's 57% AI-specialty share of SF Bay Area tech-talent job listings in June 2026. The sources and classification rules differ.

Within Corvi Careers postings across all domains, core-tech roles account for 30.8% of active job postings around the SF Bay Area and 15.8% around New York. CBRE's workforce concentration measure shows a similar pattern: tech talent represents 10.7% of total employment in the SF Bay Area and 4.2% in New York. These are different measures—the technology share of current postings versus the technology share of total employment—but they directionally match. The SF Bay Area's share is about 2.0 times New York's in our postings and 2.5 times New York's in CBRE's workforce data.

New York may have more technical workers in absolute terms, while the SF Bay Area remains much more concentrated in technology and current hiring demand reflects that distinction.

Why can workforce totals and job postings tell different stories?

Stock versus flow: CBRE estimates people employed in 2025; job postings measure recruiting demand in August 2026. A larger workforce can coexist with fewer current job postings.

Different market composition: New York's finance and professional-services employers support large internal tech teams. The SF Bay Area is more concentrated in technology itself.

Selective hiring: The SF Bay Area's workforce contracted after 2022 while AI demand intensified. Broad layoffs and aggressive recruiting for scarce AI and engineering talent can happen together.
