“These figures are extremely encouraging for the technology industry as a whole and support the wider thinking that the IT sector is coming to the fore during this credit crunch," he said.
"We have already seen that many businesses are focusing on IT as they endeavour to improve efficiencies in the wake of the credit crunch, and these figures are indicative of a market thriving from greater demand for skilled workers.”
