METRO AREA IT JOB MARKET STRONGEST IN THE COUNTRY
*The Dice Report, July 2010
The Pace/SkillPROOF IT Index (PSII), our online publication that reports on the status of the IT job market in both Manhattan and Westchester, showed the largest quarterly gain since 2004 in Manhattan (+47%) and dramatic growth in Westchester (+50%).
These findings were corroborated on dice.com, the “go-to” site for IT professionals seeking employment.
According to the July Dice Report, New York-New Jersey was ranked #1 across all major metro areas in the number of new jobs posted on their Web site with 8,200 openings. And while the overall unemployment rate for New York City hovered around 9.5 percent in June, the rate for the high-tech industry is believed to be half of that, if not less.
These combined findings and their implications were reported on in crain’s new york business.com (7/25/10), among other publications both here and abroad.
