NC TECH has released its monthly snapshot of available IT positions in the state.
The report revealed that Fayetteville recorded 804 IT jobs posted for April. This is a 20 percent decrease from the amount posted in April of 2022.With all of the MSAs reporting a decrease in postings, Fayetteville’s poor report is not a standout, but rather consistent with the trend.
“North Carolina and the US again have IT job postings at significantly lower levels than in the record-setting monthly figures for 2022,” said Andrea Fleming, Director, Talent + Workforce Development for NC TECH, in a press release. “Surrounded by headlines of layoffs in the tech sector, and an unsettled US economy, these numbers don’t come as a surprise, but can still be disheartening to see.”
“Various reports and trackers show continued hiring, though for fewer positions. Also important to note that for a second month, eight of the top 10 hirers are not tech companies,” Fleming continued in a press release. She added, “to quote NC State University economist Dr. Michael Walden, ‘the economic ride will likely become bumpier. Hold on.’”
