Tech Contractors Cite Rising Demand
from the a-sign-or-a-blip? dept
In the past years we've had a lot of articles questioning whether tech companies should focus on the government as a customer, and whether or not there's really a market for security related companies (despite the hype). Now, the Washington Post, has a story showing that some of the big name tech contractors and security companies are seeing increased demand to the point that they're actively hiring people. It's not often you hear of tech companies (these days) hiring large numbers of people, so for those who are desparate for some sort of optimistic news, the Post is spinning this as a possible sign that the economy could be picking up. Of course, if it's all for government work, it may be limiting over time.
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.
