Newsweek: Research Triangle is one of 3 ‘New Silicon Valleys’

November 11, 2010

Research Triangle Park, N.C. — A new survey from Newsweek magazine lists the Research Triangle as one of three “New Silicon Valleys” and as one of 10 metropolitan areas “best situated for the recovery” from the recession.

“The population of Raleigh-Durham grew faster than any major U.S. metropolitan area during the recession, and the city ranked third on Newsweek’s list in terms of job growth over the last decade,” the magazine reported.

Newsweek’s report “Greetings from Recoveryland” also cites Salt Lake City and urban northern Virginia as tech hot spots. “These are places where the jobs are plentiful, and the pay, given the lower cost of living, buys more than in bigger cities,” Newsweek says of the 10 metros on the list.

The new Valleys include “high-paying high-tech jobs and housing prices well below those in coastal California.”

Several Texas cities plus Oklahoma City, Indianapolis and Des Moines, Iowa fill out the top 10 list.
