CIO confidence upbeat but mixed - The latest BLS data shows an increase in the rate of job creation for IT jobs; however, Janco's Mid-Year IT salary survey shows that IT salaries remain flat. The CEO of Janco Associates, Mr. Victor Janulaitis said, "Based on our interviews with over 96 CIOs in the last 30 days, we concluded that CIOs are not in a great hurry to hire new staff except to meet short term needs until they see a clear trend as to what is happening with the economy. 67% of the CIOs we interviewed do not see any real push to expand staffing over the next 12 months.
