\"Detroit<\/a>Most of the things I read in the Bach Seat<\/a> about Detroit<\/a><\/strong> are negative at best, so good news about jobs in Detroit<\/strong> is always welcome.\u00a0<\/em>Detroit<\/a> has seen a 66% growth in tech jobs which BussinessWeek<\/a><\/em> says<\/a> second-best in the U.S<\/strong>., behind Cleveland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article says that Detroit employers are looking for technology workers as automakers create cars with increasingly sophisticated Internet services (a trend I wrote about here<\/a><\/em>) and lithium-ion batteries<\/a>. Skills needed in Motor City<\/a> are project management and experience with Oracle software. The tech top employers in Motown<\/a> are Computer Sciences and General Electric.<\/p>\n
