U.S. Tech Employment Hits Its Highest Point In Seven Years
[Information Week, July 2007]
• The unemployment rate for IT occupations fell to 2%, and total IT
employment has reached nearly 3.6 million, better than it has been the past
seven years, according to the most recent household employment survey by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics
• The results paint a much better picture for the health of the IT profession
than during the recession of 2003 and 2004, when the IT unemployment
rate hit 5.3%.
• But a shift in the type of work U.S. tech workers do also is continuing. The
biggest job gains the past year come for software engineers, IT managers,
and network systems analysts. Programmers and support specialists
continue to lose jobs.
• Total IT employment of 3.58 million and the size of the available IT workforce
-- 3.65 million working or unemployed -- are at their highest levels since the
BLS started using these eight computer-related job categories in 2000.
• At 2%, the tech unemployment rate matches that of the larger management
and professional class measured by BLS. Employers added about 93,000
computer-related jobs from a year ago.
