IT World Survey reveals 'sobering' IT skill shortage

Submitted by Khalid on Sun, 2007/07/22 - 02:10

A survey by IT World Canada reveals that employers are seeking experienced workers over new graduates.

In the survey, 61% expect to hire this year. Staffing in 2007 is up 12% for IT workers. The number of IT employees on payrolls is expected to increase by 2%. 68% of new hires are expected to have 10 years or more experience in other companies.Average total compensation increase across the IT industry is 4.1% from 2006 to 2007.

I previously posted about how the technology industry is having trouble filling positions in Canada as well as the USA.
