IT hiring positive for the year with 117K IT jobs created since January. The CEO of Janco Associates, Inc. said, “In the past 30 days, CIOs have had to slow down their hiring plans due to the lack of qualified candidates. From data that we have reviewed, shutdowns resulted in fewer computer science candidates graduating from universities and trade schools. Those in the pipeline for those degrees was reduced as well. One of the drivers of that trend, the closing of borders limited the number of foreign nationals who could qualify for that training and education.
