Datamation’s James Maguire takes a look at a steep decline in available job postings at Dice and speaks with a couple of experts about the near-term outlook.
From the article:
It was with no small alarm that I perused the monthly Dice tech job report. Published on November 11, it showed that Dice listed 75,640 IT jobs. That seems like a nice healthy number – until you realize it typically hovers around 90,000.
Still worse, looking at the site on Nov. 20 I saw the total had fallen to 70,811. (Now on the morning of Nov. 24 it has dipped to 68,606.)
Such a steep drop in such a short period – what’s going on?
I’d like to report that the piece offers a comforting explanation. Anything but.
