Techies feeling more bullish

CNET News.com is carrying a good story about IT workers feeling more upbeat about the job environment.

Also the average number of unemployed workers "fell from 210,000 in 2003 to 146,000 in 2004, according to U.S. Department of Labor data."

This is good news. For the second year in a row I can personally attest to the pick up in job activity due to the fact that I'm essentially holding down two full time jobs again. Hopefully my situation can hold on for a bit longer so I can get current with a number of things around the house. I know for the past three years I've had to job hop because of the outsourcing problem going through Corporate Americe. I was never out of work for long but I don't think it looks good when I have 4 different jobs in the past 3 years.

It'll be interesting to see where the overall industry will be at by the end of the year
