» 41K tech jobs eliminated in Q3 2005 | IT Facts | ZDNet.com  


ZDNet Research:
Challenger, Gray & Christmas claim that technology is one of the few areas of the economy that has failed to add jobs consistently over the past 12 months. The pace of job-cutting in the sector through the Q3 2005 is almost 20% ahead of 2004. The report said that technology firms announced 41,439 job cuts in Q3 2005, up 4.3% from 39,720 in Q2 2005. For Q1-Q3 2005, tech job cuts of 140,696 are 18.8% higher than Q1-Q3 2004 total of 118,427 in 2004.
This just isn't good news. Not at all. Certainly not for me personally, and I don't think it's a good thing for the US either. This is an area that should be growing, not shrinking. I'm sorry, but IT has not grown any easier in the past few years. Which really makes one wonder what is going on.
