The Information Technology Association of America’s
“When can you start?” survey, released in April
of 2001, projected a demand for more than 900,000 skilled
information technology workers in 2001. This survey also
predicted that the greatest need for tech employees in three
to five years should be in careers related to computer networking
and web development.
Sue Ream, Career Services Development Manager
for the national offices of ITT Technical Institutes said,
“Today’s job seekers are entering a different
labor scene than the dot-com days of 2000, yet opportunities
continue for people who can demonstrate their worth to employers
in a rapidly changing environment.”
The December 2000 Techies.com salary survey also referenced
the continuing demand for skilled technology professionals
as one of the main reasons that salaries in technology fields
have risen for women to almost the same levels as their
male counterparts.
Techies.com surveyed over 106,000 individuals before determining
that women’s technology salaries are within $5,100
of their male counterparts at all career levels. According
to this study, recent female graduates with one to two years
of job experience actually averaged slightly higher salaries
than recent male graduates employed at the same level.
