IT is the future’s “It” industry

Circle 2014 on your calendars, job-seeking IT folks. That’s when the tech industry expects to have created 368,000 new jobs, mainly in computer software engineering, analysis and administration.

This good news is courtesy of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, whose most recent data says nine of the 10 fastest-growing jobs are in the information technology or health care sectors.

Small wonder, considering that our ever-expanding global economy has created an ongoing need for computer networks that need to be international, intricate and impenetrable, all at the same time.

The report also supports last week’s Yoh Index findings, which pointed to growing demand in the upcoming year. So let’s hope the momentum—now, and seven years from now—goes as predicted, and takes our entire industry along for the ride.
