[HIB]IT Jobs' Increase for June Does Not Signal Re

[newsbot]

The jobs situation for technology workers is rocky. It is reflective of the larger economic picture in 2010. Data put out on June from the Department of Labor showed an increase of more than 9,000 jobs. It is welcome news, especially for those who have found employment.The bigger jobs picture, however, continues to be murky and unpredictable.“The accent in the IT work force right now is on acquiring skills more than it is on hiring full time employees,” said David Foote, founder and chief research officer of Foote Partners, an information technology analyst firm, in a July 3 research note. “Beyond the fact that it’s more expensive to hire full–timers, it can take months to find the right person even though the number of unemployed workers is so large... This is stimulating interest in managed services, cloud computing, SAAS, PAAS, IAAS, contractors and consultants. It’s also contributing to all this volatility in pay and demand for skills and people.”
