More an indicator of offshore IT job prospects
Having personally witnessed 10-20K people per year get laid off every year for last 5-8 years and an amount double that hired offshore during the same time periods I believe IT hiring is really only an indicator of local job prospects for customer facing IT positions where IT sales, lead architects assist sales, solution, and design before sending the volume of work off-shore.

This country just pumped an approximate trillion dollars into our banks, financial services, etc and none of it translated to more jobs in this country. We know where the money went, their pockets. The money should have been put in to real constuction, infrastructure renewal projects that require a tool or hammer be placed in a real U.S.A citizens hand. Unitl something similar occurs there will be no demand to motivate significant hiring.
