Pace of IT Employment Growth Accelerates in June

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 10, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The rate of growth of IT employment further accelerated in June, posting another all-time high.   

The number of IT jobs grew 0.51 percent sequentially last month to 4,473,300, according to TechServe Alliance, a collaboration of IT & Engineering Staffing and Solutions firms, clients, consultants and suppliers. On year-over-year basis, IT employment has grown by 5.71% since June 2012 adding almost 241,700 IT workers.

"While IT employment has been on the upswing for some time, June's numbers are clearly evidence that pace is accelerating," stated Mark Roberts, the CEO of TechServe Alliance. "While I have said it before, it bears repeating because of its importance: an inadequate supply of talent, not demand, represents our greatest challenge to achieving the full potential for IT employment growth in the U.S.," added Roberts.
