I'll do full MSA Tech Sector employment at a later time in the future.

Would also be interested in GSP per tech worker since it's a rough measure of productivity/value per tech worker

Yes it would be. Some states are weighted more heavily to call centers and manufacturing, while others are more about development, leadership, R&D, etc.
