If you are a tech worker wanting to rake in more money than your non-tech neighbor, San Diego is one of the places to be, according to a report by the TechAmerica Foundation. Five U.S. cities have the largest differentials between tech and non-tech workers. Third on the list is San Diego. Number one is Colorado Springs, where the average tech salary is $81,600, a full 103% above workers in other industries. The average tech salary in San Diego is $93,250, and that's 100% above average. There are 111,000 tech workers in San Diego. Qualcomm is the largest tech employer. Other cities with big differentials are number 2 Austin, 100% ($93,200); number 4 Sacramento 99%, $86,000 and number five Portland, Oregon 96% and $86,700. Tech workers in Silicon Valley and New York may make more than tech workers in the top five cities, but their differentials are not as high. Of course, average salaries in San Diego are held down by high employment in tourism, where pay is extremely low.
