While there have been small month-to-month variances, IT employment has been effectively flat for more than a year.&nbsp; On a year-over-year basis, IT employment inched up a mere 0.01% from September 2021, adding a net of 500 jobs. The Engineering sector showed a year-over-year job growth rate of 3.7%, with the addition of 97,900 jobs during the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhile IT employment dipped modestly in September, when we step back and look at multiple data points it is clear we are in a no-growth environment due to the lack of available talent,\u201d observed TechServe Alliance CEO Mark Roberts. \u201cIn addition to adding only 500 net new IT jobs (reflecting a mere 1\/100 of one percent increase) and an IT unemployment rate of only 2.3% in Q3, there were almost 500,000 registrations in the most recent H-1B lottery competing for 85,000 visas for skilled foreign workers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if some sectors of the economy soften and pull back in their hiring, demand for tech talent will continue to outstrip supply for the foreseeable future, Roberts added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/techservealliance.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Sept-2022-TechServe-IT-Employment-Index.png\">Download PDF<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":89,"template":"","topics":[249],"class_list":["post-9771","reports","type-reports","status-publish","hentry","topics-it-index"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/techservealliance.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reports\/9771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/techservealliance.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reports"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/techservealliance.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reports"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/techservealliance.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topics","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/techservealliance.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics?post=9771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
