Sector watch – Information technology

The IT industry has proven to be one of the strongest sectors of our job market in the second quarter, adding 21,000 jobs over the past three months. As companies are faced with increased cost and efficiency pressures, employers are seeing that investing in IT projects continues to be a great way to meet both of these requirements. A commitment to improving technology and continuing application and software development continues to push the job market forward in the sector, making it a strong career choice for individuals with the right technical skill sets and educational background. We see this positive hiring trend continuing for the foreseeable future.
