Job Growth in IT Continues

Newspaper current event by VnutZ on 15 January 2008, tagged as economy, employment, and it

Despite general pessimism in the Information Technology field, jobs flourished by 8% in 2007. That is the second highest growth since 2005, the previous leading year in the past decade. IT currently employs approximately 3.76 million Americans after growing by 300,000 in 2007. Computer scientists and system analysts led the growth surge, followed by IT management.

Rumors throughout the industry reflect concern that in the wake of the subprime mortgage losses, information technology budget cuts will parallel job losses.
