DETROIT, MI – The cost of living in Detroit is low and the economy is starting to recover,

CNN Money says

in a recent breakdown of American cities that it claims are hotbeds for tech work.

New York City, St, Louis, Charlotte, Austin and Phoenix were the other cities the business news blog highlighted. It noted that in New York City there are 8,829 positions open in on Dice, a tech-job search site.

Detroit had a relatively strong 1,187 jobs posted there as of Monday morning,. CNN Money talked to the senior vice president of Dice, Tom Silver, who noted that Detroit only had about 800 postings on the site a year ago.

CNN Money also noted that there is an emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Education in the Detroit area.

Last week at Gov. Rick Snyder's Economic Summit, Quicken Loans said at the governor's Economic Summit that it hired 400 tech-related positions last year alone.

CNN Money also notes that Twitter has opened a regional office here, and Compuware moved its headquarters to downtown Detroit from Chicago in 2003, though some may argue that that headquarters has been on shaky ground, as the company has attracted interest from hedge funds keen on taking control of it and possibly moving the company elsewhere.

“Yes, Detroit,” the CNN Money post reads. “Not only is the cost of living relatively low, but the local economy ‘is starting to recover, and there's a great local emphasis on STEM education.'”
