The first map, above, shows the geography of creative-in-traded employment. This category is highly uneven across the country, although it does concentrate on the East and West Coasts. As the table below shows, the leading center for creative-in-traded employment is San Jose, where creative-in-traded jobs make up a third of employment, followed by nearby San Francisco. Next comes Boston, followed by Raleigh in the North Carolina Research Triangle, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and Austin, where creative-in-traded jobs make up roughly a fifth of employment.
