It has long been suspected that Dallas and Fort Worth were booming places with many attractive reasons to relocate here, but Forbes has now confirmed it.  Businesses have been flocking to the area and bringing their competitive salaried and well-benefited job openings with them.  The cost of doing business here is one of the lowest in the country, according to Forbes.

In fact, the biggest industries in the metroplex include Information Technology.  With so many big companies moving into the area it’s no wonder that the unemployment rates are so much lower than many other places in the country.  This is great news for candidates and job seekers, but it can be tough for employers with so many open jobs and so few applicants.  That is probably why salaries have been increasing for most IT jobs in the area.  Here we have compiled some information about the typical pay rate for some of the most sought-after IT skills and their different levels of proficiency.  Being competitive as a candidate has always been essential, but it’s now time to think about being competitive as a work place candidates want to flock to.
