CENTENNIAL, Colo., June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Newly released industry-specific tech job reports from career marketplace Dice show historically strong forward momentum for tech hiring across key sectors of the economy. Demand for tech talent remains high in consulting, finance, healthcare, manufacturing and retail, while overall, the second quarter of 2022 is projected to be the sixth consecutive quarter of tech job posting growth.
Similar findings to Dice's proprietary reporting were released by CompTIA, the nonprofit association for the information technology (IT) industry and workforce.
"We remain in one of the best markets for tech talent that we have ever seen. The growing demand for technologists at all levels has shown no signs of slowing and continues to be fueled by an evolution away from legacy systems, strengthening of cybersecurity infrastructure and other ongoing digital transformation initiatives — and these are happening across nearly every sector, as our new industry-specific Tech Job Reports show," said Art Zeile, CEO of Dice (a DHI Group, Inc. brand). "It's been unfortunate that there have been layoffs and hiring freezes at some tech firms; however, we view these announcements as corrections specific to individual organizations and not indicative of the overall tech hiring market."
Overall, tech job postings are up 83% year to date and 42% from April to May 2022. Across key economic sectors:
Consulting – job postings increased more than 66% from May 2021 to May 2022
