Mobile IT Pros are positioned well in IT Labor Market
Mobile IT Pros are at the right place in pandemic times
Janco reported on the U.S. Department of Labor data. Nearly 3.3 million initial unemployment claims were filed in the last full week of March 2020. That smashed previous records of 665,000 in March 2009 and the all-time mark of 695,000 in October 1982.
How is that impacting tech sector employment?
The CEO of Janco Associates, Victor Janulaitis, Janco Associates, says any IT pro who already is working remotely is probably in a much safer position and more protected from a layoff. On the reverse side, IT pros working on legacy systems at companies that have not moved toward mobile computing for enterprise operations are at the greatest risk for losing thier jobs.

It is difficult for many C-Level executives to understand how non-financial defined and monitored metrics relate to enterprise objectives, and how they provide insight into the value and service levels that IT delivers. What they want are KPI (Key Performance Indicators)
many applications and application monitoring tools now depend on on-line desktop monitors with automated interaction with the system administrators to provide real time data analysis. In some cases these desktop KPI and metrics tools even operate on devices as small as a SmartPhone.
