Abstract: This report tracks recent state-level employment changes in a set of 35 industries that research suggests have been materially affected by advances in information technologies. THe industries are grouped into two categories: those producing IT goods and services, and those consuming IT goods and services. The study looks for recent evidence that these IT-related industries are changing how they make location decisions, with a special emphasis on the prospects for rural areas in attracting these types of firms.
