Not so fast! What is the Sizzle in Your Location?

Shout out to the Money Guy Show produced right here in Franklin, TN. This isn't the first time I have highlighted the guidance of Brian Preston and Bo Hanson in my communications. I appreciate their common sense advice and easy-to-follow checklists.

Pandemic-fueled remote work prompted many Americans to relocate to a different part of the country, too. What is Your Ownership Profile? 1 - Are you living in the home that you love?

Tech Talent is Surging in Nashville and other Cities in the Southern US

Image
Tech talent is growing across the country — but especially in the Sunbelt region, including a strong showing in Tennessee. A recent analysis by LinkedIn’s Economic Graph team reveals the 15 U.S. metro areas that have shown the greatest increase in local tech talent over the past three years, and southern cities dominate the list. The top 15 includes both Nashville and Chattanooga in Tennessee. From the remainder of the list, three were hubs in Florida, three more in North Carolina, and two in Texas. This ranking focuses on the fastest three-year growth rates. Bear in mind that the tech sector involves far more than just the high-paying, big-company software engineering roles that command so much media attention. This analysis focuses on the full sweep of information technology skills, as well as roles in mechanical, civil, electrical, chemical and bio engineering.
