Santa Clara, Calif. - The Bay Area, combining the three metro areas of San Francisco, San Jose/Silicon Valley and Oakland, had 386,200 high-tech industry workers in 2006, the most of any metro area in the nation, according to AeA's newly released Cybercities 2008 report.

San Jose held the majority of the tech industry jobs (225,300), and also had the highest concentration of tech workers in the nation, with more than one in four private sector workers employed by the tech industry.

"AeA's Cybercities report places the Bay Area as the epicenter of the tech industry," said Ed Keible, the CEO of Endwave.

"Combining Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose, we are the largest technology cluster in the nation."
