Tech Sector Hiring is Hot Again

Tech Sector Hiring is Hot Again

There appears to be mad dash to gobble up all of the CS grads.  That bodes well for the students getting a CS degree or those thinking about getting a CS degree.  Spread the word – everyone should be a Computer Scientist!  Well, that may be a bit much, but hopefully students will hear the news and at least take a class or two and consider it.

“Nationally, 148,000 tech jobs are expected to be added by the end of 2011, says Sophia Koropeckyj, an economist at Moody’s Analytics.”

CS News – Lots of Jobs in Tech

Lots of Tech Jobs

According to the article and several others I have read lately like it, there is high demand for mobile app developers.

A few great quotes from the article :

“Because of the labor shortage, companies do some pretty incredible acrobatics to attract good talent. That means it’s a good time to be a graduating senior with a degree in computer science.”

“If you can develop software applications for mobile devices, you’re sitting pretty.”

I have quite a few students interested in developing apps and the Android platform seems to the most popular choice.  The environment is easy to use and apps can be developed quite quickly.
