IT Job Hiring Slumps 250

Posted by timothy on Saturday September 06, 2014 @04:40AM from the so-many-variables dept.

snydeq writes The IT job hiring bump earlier this year wasn't sustained in July and August, when numbers slumped considerably, InfoWorld reports. 'So much for the light at the end of the IT jobs tunnel. According to job data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as analyzed by Janco Associates, the IT professional job market has all but lost the head of steam it built up earlier this year. A mere 3,400 IT jobs were added in August, down from 4,600 added for July and way down from the 13,800 added in April of this year. Overall, IT hiring in 2014 got off to a weak start, then surged, only to stumble again.' Anybody out there finding the IT job market discouraging of late and care to share their experiences?

America has a choice. Bring in foreign labor that sometimes is much better and sometimes much worse than American labor over here legally or outsource their functions and loose all the benefits in the process.

IT is such a broad range of professions that it's not really hard to change within IT. For example I worked in Sys admin roles for a number of years and than went into direct client work side work. The direct client work brings international travel, 120+ hour work weeks, insane requirements dropped on your plate at a moments notice and I guarantee that nothing is ever consistent except the product the company you work for produces. You meet many very nice people and sometimes you get to see the world.
