Washington -- The U.S. tech sector added nearly 190,000 jobs, a 3.4% increase between January 2004 and June 2005, according to a new study released by AeA, the nation's largest high-tech trade association. There are now 5.72 million tech workers in the U.S., with the sector generating a net increase in jobs over the past six, 12, and 18 month time spans, AeA said. "The data confirm our suspicion that the high-tech industry has recovered from the bursting of the tech bubble of 2000-2001," said William Archey AeA's president and CEO. "While industry growth is by no means explosive, the rise in high-tech jobs has been steady, and we find it encouraging that even tech manufacturing experienced a small increase." At the individual sector level, technology manufacturers added 21,800 net jobs in the U.S. during the period for a total of 1.36 million, and tech services providers added 167,000 net jobs for a total of 4.36 million.
