By Staff Report, posted 4 years ago

According to the North Carolina IT Job Trends Report, which is released on a monthly basis by the NC TECH Association, the Fayetteville area saw an increase in job postings in September 2021 compared to September last year. 

Across North Carolina, there were 39,030 tech jobs in September. 

In the Fayetteville MSA, which encompasses Cumberland, Hoke and Harnett Counties, 1,227 IT jobs were posted in September which was a six percent increase from the number of IT jobs posted in the Fayetteville MSA in September 2020.

 The number of IT job openings across the state dipped in September compared to the month before, however. 

“IT job openings in September hovered near historic highs, but dipped slightly in September from August,” said Brooks Raiford, CEO of NC TECH. “However, openings are up significantly over the same period one year ago, with largest year-over-year increases in the Triad, Asheville, and Greenville metro areas,” he added.
