IT department hiring has flatlined, and cloud services and automation are getting some of the blame.
While IT employment is dynamic, with both hiring and firing, the end result is that for the last several years, IT department employment growth is at or near zero percent. That's according to Computer Economics, a research firm, with an ongoing survey of about 200 firms with revenue from $50 million to well into the billions.
In its survey this year, the research firm found that 49% of companies were increasing headcount, with 20% decreasing it and no change for the balance. The result is a median that has been flat over the last few years.
