An analysis by Gartner Inc., a research firm based in Stamford, Conn., predicts that the information technology job market will shrink by a whopping 40 percent by 2010. Those who specialize in a single technology will be most vulnerable to job cuts.

. . .

By 2010, 10 percent to 15 percent of IT professionals will drop out of the industry.

Through 2010, 30 percent of top technology performers will migrate to IT vendors and IT service providers.

By 2010, information technology groups in midsize and large corporations will be at least 30 percent smaller than they were in 2005.
