Modis Identifies the Hottest Jobs in IT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Aug. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- When on the job hunt, professionals often ask: where are the jobs and where is the money? Earlier this year, Modis, a leading provider of information technology staffing, revealed the list of Hot Cities for IT Jobs, and now has identified the Hottest Jobs in IT. The job titles were selected based on internal data and trends seen through the Modis branch network across the United States.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, at the height of the recession, the unemployment rate for the information sector was 11.2%. Today, it is 5.8%, a measurable change in four years. In fact, in many markets, the demand for IT talent far outweighs the supply. From start-ups to large corporations, the need to fill IT roles across all industries continues to grow, creating a job seeker's market for those equipped with the right skills.

As businesses focus more on mobility, software developers are highly sought after, while there is also a great need for helpdesk professionals to assist users in acclimating to technology changes. The IT jobs available all play vital roles in helping companies to upgrade, install, share information and improve their internal and external functions.

The Hottest Jobs in IT are:

• Software Developer (including Mobile Development)
• Business/Data Analyst
• Helpdesk Professional
• Project Manager
• Quality Assurance Analyst
• System Administrator
• Network/ Telecom Analyst
• Database Developer & Administrator
• Data Warehouse (Analysts, Specialists, Programmers)
• ERP (Administrators, Analysts, Programmers)

"It is a great time to be an IT professional right now because there are so many opportunities across most sectors and skill levels," said Dan Pollock, senior vice president at Modis. "As companies continue to implement new technologies to improve business performance and efficiencies, these opportunities will only grow. This list is just the tip of the iceberg, and we expect to see it expand in the year ahead."
