IT Salaries and Hiring Are Up — But Just To 2008 Levels

Posted by timothy on from the living-in-the-average-of-past-and-future dept.

tsamsoniw writes "A mid-year salary survey has a mix of good and bad news for IT professionals: The good news, hiring is slowly increasing as companies bring more IT operations back in house and salaries are creeping up a bit. But compensation (including benefits) are just now reaching 2008 levels — and hiring will remain soft, at least until the presidential election is over."

    The best thing a government can do for an economy is get out of the way.

    That's what conservatives did: weaken financial regulations, lower taxes, etc. The result was the disaster of the Bush presidency culminating in the financial crisis of 2008, which we are still feeling the effects of.

    Sorry, but this mantra conservatives keep preaching is demonstrably false.
