AI is kicking off a new kind of tech hiring boom — but only in certain cities

• Many tech jobs are clustered in a few regions of the US.
• A new wave of generative AI jobs could follow the same pattern, per a Brookings Institution report. 
• Nearly half of the new US generative AI job postings in May came from one of six metro areas.

Experts say that AI like ChatGPT won't just replace jobs, but create new ones. So far this job creation is following the same pattern as past tech booms — clustering only in a few regions of the country.
