IT Job Growth Pauses in March

ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- IT employment, which had been in growth mode since the start of the year, paused in March, according to TechServe Alliance, a collaboration of IT services firms, clients, consultants and suppliers.

In the first two months of 2010, IT employment grew by more than 18,000 jobs.  In March, the number of IT positions dipped by 1,800, representing a 0.05 percent decrease from the February level of 3,829,100 technology jobs.

"Although IT job growth was essentially flat in March," said Mark Roberts, CEO of TechServe Alliance, "we are not concerned this is indicative of a major change in the overall growth trend of IT jobs." "While employment data naturally fluctuates month-to-month, all signs point to continued growth as 2010 continues to unfold,"  Roberts said.
