Commercial real estate services firm CBRE says the city added 95,900 tech talent jobs between 2018 and 2023, representing growth of 44 per cent over that timeframe.

The report adds Toronto ranked fourth in the top 50 tech markets for this year, moving up one spot compared with last year. The top three markets were the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle and New York.

Colin Yasukochi, executive director of CBRE’s tech insights center, says increased demand for skill sets in artificial intelligence has fuelled tech talent job growth across all sectors.

He adds hiring growth will continue this year and next year as companies further develop and adopt AI tech.

The report says major tech centres including Vancouver, Montreal and Waterloo, Ont., dropped in their tech talent rankings.
