New NC Tech Association job trends report show openings increased last month

RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — After seeing month-over-month declines in tech job openings in the state, the new IT Job Trends report from the NC Tech Association shows the number of job openings climbed in the last month.

The nearly 13,000 openings is 1200 more than we saw the month before.

However, it is still 9,000 fewer than last January.

As far as the careers most in demand, there’s been a significant increase in the number of data scientist postings. Software engineers, though, remain the most in-demand job.

Past experience with government contracts and work in project management are the most-needed skills.
