It's nice to see that the number of job postings are expanding. Hopefully that's good news for the general market and economy. However, the IT job market has been relatively strong over the past few years. Despite the economic hardship over the last 4 years, many companies complain that they haven't been able to attract strong tech talent. A big reason is that many techies are hunkered down at their current job and cautious about taking the leap to a new company. Several tech recruiters I spoke with mentioned that the number of IT job offers rejected has gone up significantly in the past few years. IMO the offers just weren't good enough to make someone leave a good thing. Let's hope this loosens things up a bit and the market gets really strong.
Just how little actual training the companies are actually doing and they then complain that they have no new staff available.
Unfortunately new Staff isn't simply Magiced up out of Thin Air they have to be trained and those of us who have been doing Tech for a Long Time tend to be happy where we are now days and don't want to be Gypsies any longer.

But fundamentals are not. A new job might look promising, but then you start thinking about the overall financial strength of the hiring company. Will they be around in two years? Will you be outsourced?
The devil you know is better than the devil you don't.

Just because the number of job postings has increased doesn't mean more jobs are available or that demand is increasing. It could simply mean that instead of 8 recruiting firms posting the same job, there may now be 12.
