The unemployment rate for IT professionals in September 2014 was just 3%. Conventional wisdom might suggest that means that there are few openings in the IT field. That, however is not the case. What that number is really telling us is that the demand is so high that very few people in the IT field are out of work.
Computer World conducted a survey recently that indicated that 24% of the businesses surveyed are planning to add IT employees within the next year. Considering changes like investing in cloud computing and the growing need to secure systems and the information they contain, one respondent noted that these are “large initiatives, and you have to have the people to get those done.”
We learned how to get it done at FTC.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Standards expects, “Employment and output in computer systems design and related services … to grow rapidly over the next decade, outpacing similar professional, scientific, and technical industries and the economy as a whole.”
