If you want more income, however, you'll have to move to the Northwest.

California's lead position in many high-tech employment categories comes despite the state's high-tech job sector growing much slower than in recent years.

"The latest Cyberstates data show that California's high-tech industry was hit hard by last year’s economic slowdown, but still managed to exhibit some growth in employment," said Joseph Lazzara, president and CEO of Scientific Technologies Inc. and co-chair of AeA's Bay Area Council.

"The state's manufacturing sector experienced significant job losses last year. This slowdown is largely due to the drop in California’s technology manufacturing employment. Software and computer-related services jobs continued to grow, albeit much slower than in previous years," he added.

But California's high-tech job market wasn't the only market suffering from an anemic economy.

California didn't come out on top in all high-tech job categories, giving other states some room to cyber crow.
