Tech jobs rising

Nationally, tech hiring activity is at a two-year high. 

 

In October, a survey by IT trade association CompTIA found that firms posted 360,065 tech jobs, which was a 76,000-opening increase. Tech companies, meanwhile, added 8,300 new employees. Overall, tech industry employment is up 140,000 in 2021, CompTIA estimates.

 

It comes at a time when the job picture is getting rosier for the economy as a whole. In last week's monthly jobs report, the federal government reported that the unemployment rate is down to a pandemic low of 4.6%, and the country added 531,000 jobs as a whole.
