IT Job Market Shows Impact of Recession

Janco and the IT Productivity Center are just starting to compile the data for its July IT Salary Survey that will be released next month. Janco is still gathering data and is accepting responses from enterprises until the end of the month. If you would like to participate just follow the link below.

The initial data shows that both compensation and hiring are down in many of the major metropolitan areas.

The regions and cities most impacted are the North East (New York and Boston), Far West (Los Angeles and San Francisco), Northwest (Seattle and Tacoma), Midwest (Chicago and Detroit), and Southwest (Dallas and Phoenix).

Many enterprises are now in a "no-hire" and "stop all discretionary spending" mode. In follow-up interviews with a number of CIOs Janco confirmed the situation that many enterprises now face. One CIO said, "Management has told me to cut my IT expenditures immediately and if I do not then they will find someone who will. "

Enterprises that participate will be sent a summary of the IT Salary Survey as soon as it is released.
