A Few Cities Have Cornered Innovation Jobs. Can That Be Changed? – The New York Times

Boston, Seattle, San Diego, San Francisco and Silicon Valley captured nine out of 10 jobs created in these industries from 2005 to 2017, according to a report released on Monday. By 2017, these five metropolitan regions had accumulated almost a quarter of these jobs, up from under 18 percent a dozen years earlier. On the other end, about half of America s 382 metro areas including big cities like Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia lost such jobs.

And the concentration of prosperity does not appear to be slowing down.
