Our observations for the 2011 Mid-Year IT Compensation Study are as follow:
Overall IT compensation has remained flat for the last 12 months. The totalmean compensation for all IT Professionals has decreased modestly by 0.39% to $78,078 from $77,773 at the beginning of 2011. This puts overall compensation back at the levels they were at in January 2008.All levels of IT professionals continue to feel a salary crunch.

- IT hiring is up - since January of 2011 55,500 IT jobs have been added in the United States according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
- Layoffs seem to have tapered off, however some companies continue to cut the size of the IT organizations.
- On shore outsourcing has peaked and companies are looking to bring IT operations back into their direct control and reduce operating costs.
- Cost reduction is still the rule of the day; however we have seen an increase in the number of “part-timers” and contractors who are focused on particular critical projects.

Template includes citation for federal and selected state record retention requirements
All business are required by law to keep confidential client information, as well as employee or company data for a minimum amount of time. There are numerous business records that should be held on to for a minimum of seven years, which can include employee agreements, business loan documentation, litigation records, as well as general expense reports and records including overhead expenses and professional consultation fees.
Other documents may be kept for shorter, longer or an indefinite period of time and it's important to know what legal requirements are enforced for your industry to not only stay compliant, but to also dispose of documents you may no longer need. Regularly maintaining filing cabinets and securely disposing of old documents can help minimize risk of sensitive information falling into the wrong hands. The risks of keeping old documents containing sensitive data can be high - resulting in identity theft, fraud and potential financial loss or reputation damage.
