Abstract
High technology employment has received little attention in shift-shar e analysis. The purpose of this paper is to utilize shift-share analys is to analyze high technology employment change in 37 metropolitan are as.

Most of the gains and los ses in a metropolitan area can be explained by the regions competitive ness component.
