By Staff Report, posted 4 years ago

The North Carolina Technology Association released its updated monthly snapshot of available IT positions in the state. These positions are broken down by top listings, MSA, job type, skills, and certifications. 

NC TECH is a nonprofit, membership-driven trade association and the primary voice of the technology industry in North Carolina. 

NC TECH’s  Tech Talent Trends Alert is released at the latter half of each month with a rolling thirteen-month chart of IT job openings to track trends. 

“IT job openings in March continued a six-month trend of record-setting openings,” said Brooks Raiford, CEO of NC TECH. “The first quarter of 2022 has mimicked past patterns of accelerated hiring after a holiday slow-down; we are interested to see whether hiring dips after this quarter, or remains high due to ongoing demand.”

Fayetteville saw a 38 percent increase in March 2022 with 1,466 jobs. North Carolina also saw a 38 percent increase from March 2021 at 35,649 to 49,143 in March 2022. 

The top 10 job titles statewide for March include senior software engineer, software engineer, project manager, devops engineer, data engineer, senior data engineer, software developer, Java developer, senior Java developer, and software engineer II. 

The Tech Talent Trends Alert is produced using Gartner’s TalentNeuron, a leading supplier of real-time business intelligence solutions for the talent marketplace.
