IT Job Market Growth Slows as Recovery May Be Stalling reports Janco
16.7K IT jobs created in September versus 22K in August
IT hiring still robust with 117,500 IT jobs created so far in 2021
Park City – UT– e-janco.com – – Janco reports that 2021 YTD job growth exceeds 2020 by 202,400 YTD. According to the latest BLS data analyzed by Janco there are now 3.72 million jobs for IT Professionals in the US. The three-month moving average trend for the creation of IT Pros jobs has leveled off. On the bright side, for 13 months in a row there has been an increase in the number of jobs added to the IT job market. The hiring of IT Pros continues to be robust but measured. This is true across all industries but is focused more on those enterprises where employees are moving back to the in-office environment.
The CEO of Janco Associates, Inc., Mr. M. Victor Janulaitis said, “An average of 13,000 IT jobs have been added to the IT job market each month of 2021. This number could be greater, but CIOs are having difficulty finding candidates who are qualified for positions that they need to fill. Much of the recruiting emphasis is on developers with experience in security/compliance and outward facing Internet based applications. That added to the issue of staff retention has recruiting and HR as top priorities for CIOs.”
