Study: IT job market may be looking up

CNET News.com reports on a survey by the Robert Half Technology group. Their last quote is the one I'm currently most interested in "Help desk/end-user support is the specialization experiencing the strongest growth among U.S. companies."

The location of the most activity seems to be in the New England States, but the overall tide of activity seems to be bringing everyone higher.

Another story that CNET News carried focused on IT salaries being generally flat. The actual survey was conducted by Janco Associates. It looks like salaries are lagging behind the job market which is normal. In any job recovery market companies increase salaries based on how difficult it is to hire new talent or to keep new talent. When there is an abundance of people looking for a few jobs salaries fall. This has been the general state within the IT sphere for the past several years. When there is a strong demand for people and few people filling those jobs salaries rise.
