Why we checked itSpecific claim that New York State has more tech jobs than Silicon Valley — a significant and verifiable economic assertion that could mislead voters if incorrect.
What we foundNew York did surpass the San Francisco Bay Area in total number of tech jobs by raw headcount, but the claim omits that San Francisco still leads in CBRE's broader, multi-metric tech talent index, meaning the 'surpassed' framing overstates the scope of New York's lead.
