Since 2005, five metro areas — Boston, the San Francisco Bay Area, San Jose, Seattle, and San Diego — accounted for 90 percent of all US growth in “innovation sector” jobs, which Brookings defines as employment in the top science, technology, engineering, and math industries that include extensive research and development spending. Meanwhile, 343 metro areas lost a share of these jobs in that same period.

High taxes and government regulations are good for innovation sector growth :)

The original Brookings report talks about the share of innovation employment and the winner-takes-most pattern of it. By definition, "share" implies a portion of a total, usually, expressed in %. The Vox story is almost irrelevant. I referenced it because I saw it first and it had a link to the original Brookings study.
