"When it comes to a high-tech economy, Indiana ranks 23rd among U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, according to an influential annual report released today."
***
Even though Indiana's annual venture-capital investments rose 17 percent, from $70 million to $83 million, the state was in the bottom half of the nation for that measure, ranking 29th.
The state also scored poorly for high-tech wages. At an average of $57,600, Indiana ranked 39th in high-tech pay. And Indiana's concentration of high-tech workers was only 28 of every 1,000, or 47th in the nation.
Other rankings include:
-20th in high-tech establishments, 5,400
-18th in research-and-development expenditures, $5.1 billion
-Sixth in photonics manufacturing jobs, 1,200
-11th in communications-equipment manufacturing jobs, 4,200
-14th in defense-electronics manufacturing jobs, 1,900
