This surge demonstrates that Middlesbrough is increasingly being seen as a tech hub, attracting both startups and established companies looking to leverage its growing infrastructure and talent pool.<\/p>\n<p>Despite tech jobs representing a smaller portion of the local workforce (2.7%), recent data shows that wages are on the rise, with an 8.46% pay increase reported, pushing the current average hourly wage to \u00a315.13. This increase highlights the competitive earning potential in the area as the sector flourishes.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to its booming tech sector, Middlesbrough offers an excellent work-life balance, with residents enjoying a short daily commute distance of just 56,434 km. This makes the town particularly attractive for tech professionals seeking career growth and quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>By ranking first outside of London, Middlesbrough continues to draw attention as a top destination for tech firms and professionals alike. With a combination of rapid growth, rising wages and excellent living conditions, the town is poised to become one of the UK&#8217;s most sought-after locations for tech innovation.<\/p>\n<p>For more details and the full report, visit:\u00a0<a title=\"\u200c\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eskimoz.co.uk\/where-is-the-best-place-for-tech-jobs-in-the-uk-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer ugc nofollow\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.eskimoz.co.uk\/where-is-the-best-place-for-tech-jobs-in-the-uk-2024\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1728114074383000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0T9nx65vO6ZwcMs5-XfqZR\">https:\/\/www.eskimoz.co.uk\/<wbr \/>where-is-the-best-place-for-<wbr \/>tech-jobs-in-the-uk-2024\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Image source:\u00a0http:\/\/www.maphill.com\/united-kingdom\/england\/north\/middlesbrough\/location-maps\/physical-map\/<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Middlesbrough has cemented itself as the leading tech hub outside of London, according to the latest\u00a02024 UK Tech Jobs Report\u00a0by\u00a0Eskimoz.
