This report dispels the notion that the best days for IT jobs have passed with the bursting of the dot-com bubble in 2000 and the practice of off-shoring today. From 2001 to 2011, a decade characterized by recessions and jobless recoveries, over 565,000 new IT jobs were created. IT employment grew more than 95 times faster than employment as a whole, which grew by only 0.2 percent.
