Job ads up despite coalition cutbacks

Ensure Ease of Recovery with Asigra’s Agentless Software
The latest quarterly survey of temporary and permanent job postings reveals an eight per cent increase in jobs, despite public sector cutbacks.
The number of jobs advertised in the public sector has fallen 21 per cent since the last survey in March. But contracting jobs for local and central government IT departments is still a strong sector and places more adverts than any others except for finance.
Permanent posts in finance and media have gone up eight per cent and 12 per cent respectively.
In terms of skills requested by employers, Linux beat Unix for the first time this quarter, putting it in tenth place for permanent positions.
The top skill requested for permies was SQL, followed by C, C#, .NET, SQL Server, ASP, Java, Javascript, HTML and Linux.
For contractors the list is broadly similar, although Oracle gets a mention at the number five spot and Java is number three.
The survey comes from CWJobs. ®

Back to the future - 2003
The jobstats graph is looking like 2003 and agrees that more obs are being advertised - the first time for a long time: http://old.jobstats.co.uk/
It's a long way from satisfactory - there must be a lot of un- or other-employed IT people out here.
