CreateGreat.org, a website focused on helping people find jobs, changed its name to nycHired.com to focus specifically on connecting tech talent with jobs in New York City's growing startup scene. While New York's overall unemployment rate remained high, the demand for programmers and engineers was strong, with the IT sector adding many jobs. The website founders validated the assumption that focusing on tech jobs in New York could be more successful than the original broader focus.

- 7. Validating the Assumption Although the unemployment rate in the Big Apple remains over 9 percent — roughly double what’s considered healthy — the demand for programmers and engineers to work in the city’s burgeoning internet startup scene is stronger than it’s been in a decade.

From Silicon Valley to Detroit to New York, a war for tech talent is now being played out as companies struggle to find – and hold on to – skilled engineers and developers.
