I'm surprised not to see Madison, WI on this list. Our tech sector has been strong and growing for several decades - locally we have Epic Systems, Exact Sciences, Promega Corporation, Thermo Fisher Scientific, several large insurance companies like American Family Insurance, Sentry Insurance. It might be easy to miss the agglomeration of these companies in one area because some of them are technically in different municipalities than the City of Madison. But it's a great area, and most of the big players here have been spared or even strengthened by the unique circumstances of the pandemic.

Probably because it's measuring the last 3 years and Madison already had a sizable tech workforce for many years now.
Good area. Wish more people wore masks though.

Huh? We have a mask mandate in Dane County. Everyone wears them, by law.

Rules can and are broken sometimes. There are noticeable differences in proportion of people wearing masks in different areas.

This was a specific comment about the Madison, Wisconsin area. Do you have specific data about mask wearing in Madison?

My bad, I thought it was for any location with laws about face masks.
