MHT survey: Tech job openings expected to grow
By Rodney H. Brown
Technology jobs may be on the rebound, as more respondents to a recent Mass
High Tech survey said they would be adding employees soon, compared to
respondents in the second quarter of 2009. According to the survey, 56.8
percent of the 861 companies surveyed said they would be adding staff,
versus 51.9 percent in the second quarter.
In addition, the number of respondents who were anticipating job cuts in Q3
dropped to half of one percent, down from 1.8 percent in the second quarter
of the year. The telecom sector reported no planned job cuts at all in Q3,
down from 3 percent of telecom respondents saying their staff levels would
decrease in the second quarter.
Biotech/med tech also had no respondents planning layoffs in Q3, down from
2.8 percent in Q2. The software sector was about even at 0.3 percent in Q3
and 0.4 percent in Q2. The Internet sector was the only one to see an
increase on the number of potential job cuts, as the number of respondents
saying layoffs would occur in Q3 ticked up to 1.1 percent from zero in Q2.
The overall confidence level of tech execs also climbed in Q3. Those
reporting some level of confidence in the tech sector climbed from 79.3
percent of respondents in Q2 to 84.4 in Q3.
