Although the IT industry took a small hit in 2020 regarding cutbacks, spending patterns and deferment of major investments, 2021 appears to be a promising year. The CompTIA Industry Outlook 2021 reported that if current financial trends in IT stay on track, the industry will soon return to the rate of growth that it was experiencing prior to the pandemic.
Also, despite the global health crisis, a great number of IT professionals were hired in late 2020. IT companies in the United States increased employment by 22,200 workers in December, and at the same time IT jobs grew by 391,000 positions, according to the CompTIA Tech Jobs Report released on January 8, 2021.
“Another encouraging sign was a modest increase in the number of employer job postings for core information technology positions, to nearly 207,000 in December,” Esther Shein wrote in TechRepublic, citing the report.
The CompTIA Tech Jobs Report shows that the national unemployment rate in December 2020 more than doubled the unemployment rate of IT professionals. For example, the national unemployment rate in December was 6.7%, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, but it was just 3% for those in an IT career.
