employment outlook
for it professionals
The second largest free agent segment, IT talent currently accounts for more
than 23 percent of the free agent workforce.
While the demand is great for experienced IT professionals, college enrollment is not keeping up, and the
impending retirement of baby boomer IT professionals will quickly create a void.
Career opportunities will be strong in coming years for IT talent, especially for those involved in application
development, quality assurance, network, system analysis, system administration, end user support, as well as
for database and data mining. Unemployment numbers for IT remain low—at or below three percent in the
U.S., across all industries. This is all great news for IT professionals!
