Tech Sector Still Going Strong For Jobs

from the depends-on-your-definition dept

A new study shows that there's still very strong demand for tech workers. As the article says there was a "dot com bust" but not an "IT bust". Basically, things are returning to a normal level where people are looking for stable jobs with normal growth potential. This is a good thing - except if you were planning on getting fabulously wealthy by doing very little work for 5 months and then bragging about how hard you worked and how smart you were. Yeah, I repeat my claim that this is a good thing. Update: Of course, this leaves out the fact that many workers are apparently being traumatized by all the layoffs. It's actually a lot worse for the workers left behind, than those who have been handed pink slips.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    What defines a tech worker?

    This is really just a sidenote on the article but I sometimes wonder whether you can classify editors as tech workers? Surely there exactly the same type of worket that would work in offline media, so is it corret to classify them as tech workers? Are there any other questionable tech workers (i.e. questionable as in being included in that catagory)?
