That has led to an array of new ways for tech talent to find work. New York has pulled into the lead in part because many AI jobs require full-time in-person commitments, and the city has been on a drive to restore commercial occupancy since the all-time low period of Covid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cFully remote arrangements for new roles declined as employers moved to hybrid schedules of three or more days in the office,\u201d the report said. \u201cAI companies largely require full-time, in-person work. In the San Francisco Bay Area, remote job postings fell to 7% as of April 2026 from 24% in mid-2022, well below the current 18% share across all U.S. tech talent postings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tDespite widespread layoffs at Meta, Amazon, Google and other tech giants, total tech employment grew by 1.8%, adding 108,760 jobs last year. AI roles accounted for the majority of those gains, with the sector growing by 45% over the past year. San Francisco and New York each added more than 20,000 AI-oriented jobs in that span, CBRE said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York City now has the most tech jobs of any market in the country, edging the San&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":326950,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[3250,9213,1503,3415,9,24,55,54,56,8725,13881,1601,35200],"class_list":["post-326949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-ai","tag-bay-area","tag-cbre","tag-jobs","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny","tag-san-francisco","tag-silicon-valley","tag-tech","tag-techline"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=326949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326949\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/326950"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=326949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=326949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=326949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
