NC and US Job Postings on the Rise
3rd Highest Month in Past Year
(October 17, 2022) The NC Technology Association (NC TECH) has released its monthly snapshot of available IT positions in the state, broken down in several ways (top listings by MSA, job type, skills, certifications).
This monthly Tech Talent Trends Alert is released in the latter half of each month with a snapshot of the previous month as well as a rolling thirteen-month chart of IT job openings in NC so that trends can be seen.
“September was another month with headlines and data that are often contradictory,” said Andrea Fleming, Director of Talent and Workforce Development at NC TECH. “For example, both North Carolina and US job postings jumped both month-to-month and year-over-year, while major financial institutions warn of job losses and recessions,” she added. Fleming notes that overall, North Carolina still is in a strong position, with media sources including Forbes, CNBC, CEO Magazine and Business Facilities magazine all featuring the state in their Best States for Business rankings. In another sign of strength, the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina recently received a National Excellence Award for Business Retention and Expansion.
The newest and previous IT Job Trends reports are available here, with more talent-related information and resources here.
The Association notes that there has been an update to the tool used to produce these monthly reports. Gartner, the world’s largest technology advisory firm, has made these changes to reflect the trend toward multiple listings in an era of hybrid or remote work. This approach results in a more accurate representation in the number of distinct job openings reported, as duplicate listings are culled from the list.
