Demand for tech-focused jobs in the St. Louis area grew by a modest 1.5% between 2023 and 2024, according to an annual report released this week by TechSTL, the local tech council.
The report measures the number of job postings in the past year for 55 tech occupations, which totaled 39,432 for the St. Louis region.
These numbers are different from labor market statistics on employment, which can lag by several months, said TechSTL Executive Director Emily Hemingway. The number of job postings can telegraph the demand companies have for specific tech occupations, she said.
“The trends we’re able to put out in this report are incredibly valuable because they are the emerging trends,” Hemingway said. “They’re allowing our employers to really tell us where the market is going. How is their demand [for certain roles] changing based upon the changing of technology?”
