The IT Labor Shortage Is Showing Its Effects
The majority of companies worldwide are affected by the skilled IT labor shortage, and it’s not just tech companies.
According to the job search company Monster, the most tech job listings on their website weren’t from a tech company at all, but from a health care industry giant.
The skills gap of the future is two-pronged; organizations seek IT staff to fill the need for both interpersonal/soft skills and technical/hard skills. Over three quarters (79%) of organizations are pursuing initiatives to address these gaps amid a tightening market for IT labor. (CompTIA)
Computer occupations are projected to be in such high demand over the next 10 years due to continued growth in the digital economy. Notable components of this include an expected surge in the number of connected devices and an expected rise in the risk from data breaches, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
What Is Driving The Tech Labor Shortage?
72% of tech employees in the US are considering leaving their jobs in the next year, according to a survey from TalentLMS and Workable
58% suffer from burnout
69% of working mothers plan to remain out of work to care for their children, according to a survey by TopResume.
Fewer than half of high schools in the United States even offer computer science classes, according to an article on the subject in The Harvard Gazette
Employment in computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow 13 percent from 2020 to 2030, faster than the average for all occupations. These occupations are projected to add about 667,600 new jobs. Demand for these workers will stem from greater emphasis on cloud computing, the collection and storage of big data, and information security.
