Abstract
The share of foreign-born workers in the U.S. information technology (IT) industry is much higher than their share of the labor force. In fact, foreign-born workers hold more than half the creative IT jobs located in metropolitan areas where IT innovation clusters are located. Nevertheless, except for in Silicon Valley, U.S.-born workers and workers born abroad to American parents still hold the highest proportion of creative IT jobs.
Keywords: IT industry, native born workers, foreign born workers
