The NC Technology Association (NC TECH) has released its monthly snapshot of available IT positions in the state.

In the Fayetteville MSA, which encompasses Cumberland, Hoke and Harnett Counties, 714 IT jobs were posted in June which was a five percent decrease from the number of IT jobs posted in the Fayetteville MSA in June 2022. This is a slightly more encouraging report than the numbers from May. 

“If you use a magnifying glass, the June figures are up slightly over May, but they’re still down compared to the record-breaking months of 2022. Sharing these statistics as North Carolina has a 2nd annual win for CNBC’s America’s Top State for Business, it’s hard to not be optimistic,” said Andrea Fleming, Director, Talent + Workforce Development for NC TECH, in a press release. “The state ranked first overall, but also first in the critical Workforce category of the study. North Carolina remains at the top for attracting and retaining talent.”

“The study also highlighted the strength in career education,” Fleming continued in a press release. “The NC Community College system programs are well matched to industry needs and leaders are frequently in communication with businesses and industry groups like NC TECH to stay current with education offerings. This is especially important in areas such as Information Technology.”
