The organization said the country added 900 IT jobs during the month to reach 4.19 million. Except for the modest dip in September, IT employment has grown every month this year and is up 2.8% on a year-over-year basis. "While demand in most IT skill sets remains strong, it appears that uncertainty surrounding the broader macroeconomic picture and fiscal cliff has dampened the robust growth we saw earlier in the year," said Mark Roberts, the CEO of TechServe. http://www.techservealliance.org/pressroom/documents/IndexreleaseNovember2012-MBR.pdf (PDF) _____________________________________________ o Briefly Noted: (Redwood Shores, Calif.)
