IT Job Market Recovering Faster Now Than After Dot-com Bubble Burst

Posted by Soulskill on from the certainly-caused-by-your-political-party's-fine-efforts dept.

tsamsoniw writes "More new tech jobs have emerged since the end of the past recession than during the same recovery timelines following the dot-com bubble burst and the early-1990s recession. What's more, the unemployment rate among technology professionals is now half that of the national average — with especially low unemployment rates for database administrators and network architects. What's not clear, though, is how many unemployed techies aren't being counted because they've abandoned job searches."

    The dot-com burst was a tech sector bubble.

    The current burst is a finance sector bubble.

    How's that finance job market recovery going?
