B2B Market Research - Technology

Industry Overview

Many think of high-tech as being comprised of computer-related industries and occupations. However, the Workforce Information Council defines the high-tech sector as any industry having high concentrations of workers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) occupations. These include various types of engineers, IT workers, scientists, post-secondary teachers, and managers of these workers. And the STEM workers are employed in many different industries.

The petroleum and oil and gas sectors have the highest output per employee ratios, followed by chemicals and wireless telecommunications. State government has the lowest ratio followed by management, scientific and technical consulting. Most technical industries operate at a productivity rate equating to $400K to $600K output per employee.
