Seattle's tech workers earn second-highest wages in the world
Seattle's booming tech sector has been cited as one of the reasons the Emerald City has a strong economy.
And with a strong tech industry come tech workers. They're earning on average the second-highest tech-worker salary in the world by coming to Seattle, according to a recent State-of-salaries report by Hired.
