The key trends showed it's a good year for IT professionals."
"However, as highlighted in the session, data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show a 9% projected growth in computer and IT occupations from 2024 to 2034, compared to a 3% growth for all occupations. Furthermore, the same data show that the 2024 median salary for computer and IT occupations is twice that of the median salary for all other occupations. Yet most respondents said they find it difficult to hire skilled IT talent."
