The organization said the number of IT jobs grew by only a net 1,500 to 4.18 million during the month. Still, IT jobs are up more than 117,000 -- or about 2.9% -- from a year ago. "I would be careful about reading too much into the decline in the rate of growth in a single month," said Mark Roberts, CEO of the TechServe Alliance. "Given the dynamic nature of the labor market for IT professionals, there will be an inevitable ebb and flow of monthly numbers. Based on the longer-term trend line as well as the anecdotal reports of my member companies, demand for IT professionals remains strong.". http://www.techservealliance.org/pressroom/documents/IndexreleaseJuly2012-MBR.pdf (PDF) _____________________________________________ |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Drive Sales - Advertise with Tech Wire - Special Summer Rates According to a recently released study by eMarketer, online advertising is expected to generate $39.5 billion in sales this year…Increase your sales revenue.
