I want to see current 2002 data on hi-tech employment/unemployment by
U.S. cities with MSA > 250,000.

Are you interested just in free information?  
I have found a specific report with current data and city-by-city high
tech employment rates, but you have to pay for it.
I've also found free PARTIAL data from that report, but not the full
one for free. Would you consider this kind of information as an
answer?

Yes, I would probably pay for it (depending on price), but in any
event, I would consider that an answer.
Thanks,

Dear Sacalay, 
I have my answer ready but, before posting it, I want to ask you if
you would be interested in this kind of information.
I have links to great sources were you can buy:
The 2002 State by State report for the High Tech industry, including
data on employment by state and recent labour changes.
The 2000 City by City report with the same scope (by city).
The contact data of the research team where you can ask for special
surveys.
If you can accept this information as an answer to your question I'll
be happy to post it.
Regards,
Lrargerich

I already have the AeA Cybercities report (if that's the source you
located), but the data is too old.  The Cyberstates report is current,
but it's not by city, so less useful.  Did you have another source in
mind?

I'm afraid we found the same AeA report.
