Growing IT Industry

IT careers

New IT careers are evolving. Growth areas include information security; geospatial programs like Google maps; and mobile technology, which is developing smaller and smaller tools. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says that 854,000 professional IT jobs will be added between 2008 and 2016—a 24% increase. In addition, it estimates that the information sector of the economy will be the fastest growing during this period. Most of the growth is expected to be in telecommunications, software publishing, and the Internet. So, if you’ve ever thought about IT, it would be worth your while to take a second look.
