Tech Employment Flat

TechServe Alliance announced the addition of 431,000 non-farm jobs with the unemployment rate dropping to 3.6%. Yet, for sectors such as IT, growth is elusive continuing a year-long pattern of being flat. Employment in IT in March showed an incremental decline of 0.07%, down 3,800 jobs, to 5,404,200 jobs. On a year-over-year basis, IT employment was up 1.30% since March 2021, adding 69,400 jobs.

Engineering employment grew by 0.33% to 2,680,000 and year-over-year increased by 3.39% since March 2021, adding 87,900 engineering workers.

Working from anywhere is putting significant pressure on hiring and also making retention of the existing workforce an imperative.
