Denver is a solid place for software developers, despite shifts in the industry.
By the numbers: The median salary for the profession in Denver is $135,000, up 28% from six years ago.
- The number reflects demand for the job, as well as the high cost of living and inflationary gains, per a July study from ADP.
The big picture: Elsewhere the picture is mixed. Demand for software developers has plunged from the boom times of 2021 and 2022.
- The supply of higher-paying white-collar jobs in technology, marketing and finance is not great, even though the labor market remains strong,
- These positions, "what we once would've called office jobs," are the weakest spot in the labor market, says Nick Bunker, an economist at Indeed.
Yes, but: These are still among the best jobs around.
- Software developer is ranked second on the Labor Department's list of occupations with the most projected job growth over the next decade or so, coming in after home health aides.
