Expert opinions on the best states for managers, network & security

Are there any particularly good places in the United States for manager, network & securitys to find work opportunities?
Joé Lloyd
Senior Director, AVIXA
Because AV is so tied to people, we're not an industry that has hotspots in the same way that tech, finance, and the defense industries do. Cities will have more AV jobs than rural areas, and areas with strong growth will outperform those without, but we do not predict hubs at this time.
