The North Carolina Technology Association (NC TECH) has released its monthly report of available IT positions in the state, broken down in several ways (top ten listings by MSA, job type, skillset, and employers).

This Tech Talent Trends Alert is a snapshot of the previous month (as well as a rolling thirteen-month chart of total IT job openings such that trends can be observed).



“February IT job postings were the lowest in at least four years. While this is concerning on the surface, the NC unemployment rate remains steady at a low 3.8%,” said Andrea Fleming, Director, Talent + Workforce Development for NC TECH. “Also positive are the gains in the latest Federal Jobs report: overall jobs in North Carolina increased by more than 10,000 with top gains in leisure, hospitality, construction, government, education and health,” Fleming continued. “These are all areas which have seen slower rebounds from the pandemic. The tech job market remains in murky territory with rebalancing of pandemic hires combined with economic concerns.”
