Tech Job Market Stagnating
from the good-news:-things-aren't-getting-worse dept
You know things are bad when the best news a jobs report can come up with is "well, at least things aren't getting worse". That's the latest job market report for the tech industry. There aren't many new jobs in the sector, but they've slowed down the layoffs too. Most technology job openings, these days, are for non-tech companies looking to increase their IT staff. It also seems that hiring managers (who have been notoriously optimistic) are finally realizing that the economy hasn't really bounced back as quickly as they had hoped and are slowly lowering their estimates for how many people to hire over the next year or so.
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
