8. Philadelphia, Pa.

With the success of gadgets like the BlackBerry and apps like Facebook, geeks are taking over the world. If you join the 132,200 other high-tech workers in Philadelphia, you can celebrate that victory by running up the Rocky steps (aka, the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art). Philly ranks number eight in high-tech employment and in high-tech job growth. Techies in the area average $83,259, compared with non-techies who make $48,461, for a wage differential of 72 percent. But remember: This is the "City of Brotherly Love." So be nice about it.
