7. Chicago, Ill.

The fast-paced city offers its 164,000 tech workers a rich architectural heritage, great shopping on the Miracle Mile and some of the best pizza in the world. The "Windy City" is seventh in high-tech employment, but it ranks a bit lower in job growth at number 18. High-tech workers in Chicago earn an average of $81,441, compared with their non-tech private sector counterparts who average $48,933, for a 66 percent wage differential. But you and your non-tech friends can go jogging or biking along beautiful Lake Shore Drive for free, and that difference won't matter.
