About this SummaryThe online job posting data in this summary is from Burning Glass Technologies. When citing Burning Glass data use: Burning Glass Technologies Labor Insights. Other important information to note where applicable: time period, core IT occupations, location (e.g. US, Chicago MSA), etc.

The data highlighted in this summary was pulled April 2015 and primarily focuses on Q1 2015 data for IL and the Chicago metropolitan statistical area (MSA), i.e., the Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, IL-IN-W MSA. Data highlights for the entire US are included as well. This information complements many other workforce-related research studies CompTIA produces (see Additional Resources).

For the purposes of this summary, core IT occupations include positions related to those listed in the following tables. This report excludes certain telecommunications occupations, such as positions responsible for installing or maintaining cellular towers. Additionally, this report excludes ‘knowledge worker’ type positions, such as technical writer and graphic designer.

Note: the data found in this report uses a slightly different industry and occupational definition than what is found in Cyberstates. The CompTIA data covers core IT, while Cyberstates covers a broader set of tech occupations, including positions such as engineers, engineering technicians and assemblers working in tech manufacturing.

Job posting data is a useful, but an imperfect proxy for job demand. Not every posting translates to a new job; hiring firms may change their plans, post multiple times for the same job, hire internally, try different approaches to find the right candidate and so forth (see Notes area). Also, one ad may be posted for multiple openings. Burning Glass Technologies Labor Insights addresses many of these issues, but not all.

Additionally, within a time period, there may be situations where a worker is hired, the person isn't the right fit and is let go, and a firm starts the process over again. In the aggregate there is single position, but using job posting data, it may appear there are 2 positions (see labor turnover data to gauge the frequency of this practice).

CompTIA recommends using job posting data in conjunction with BLS data to get a more complete picture of labor dynamics for a given occupation category.

Job Openings

• During Q1 2015 there were 851,063 core IT job openings in the US, according to Burning Glass Technologies Labor Insights.

• In comparison to the entire US job market, there were 5,848,101 total openings for the same Q1 2015 time period. IT postings now represent 15% of all job openings (up from 13% in Q4, 12% in Q3 and Q2, and 11% in Q1 2014).

• IT postings have increased by an astounding 55% over the same Q1 last year. (Compared to +17% for all job ads, including non-IT.) Note: not all postings translate to a hire. It’s important to also consider net separations (job loss) and net hires (job gains) to fully understand the IT jobs landscape.

Employment / Unemployment

• According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the U.S. unemployment rate for March 2015 remained unchanged at 5.5 percent.

• Compared to the national unemployment rate, the rate for computer related occupations remains very low at 2.0 percent for March. (A decrease of 0.8 percent from March 2014.)

• An estimated 5.0 million job openings existed the last business day of January versus 8.6 million* unemployed people looking for work. The hires rate (3.5%) and separations rate (3.4%) changed little in January. Over the 12 months ending January 2015, hires totaled 59.1m & separations totaled 56.0m, yielding a net employment gain of 3.1m.

Labor Force Turnover Background and Context

• The U.S. labor force is dynamic with a constant state of hiring and separations. Workers may leave an employer for a new opportunity, geographic relocation, family needs, retirement, or any number of other reasons. Similarly, employers may layoff workers because of poor economic conditions, performance, structural changes in their product lines or any number of other reasons.

• During any given quarter, approximately 10-15% of the national labor force separates from their employer, either voluntarily or involuntarily. In a growing economy the number of new hires will exceed the number of separations as employers add new headcount. Conversely, in a contracting economy, separations exceed new hires.

o Separations in the IT services sector (encompassing solution providers, MSPs, VARs, integrators, customer software development services and related) are about 24% lower than the national average. This may stem from IT professionals being more career oriented or being attracted to the higher than average wages. Industry sectors such as fast food, retail and hospitality tend to have have highest rates of labor turnover.

• The civilian labor force participation rate was little changed at 62.7% in March 2015.

• Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 126,000 in March 2015. Job growth averaged 269,000 per month over the prior 12 months. In March, job growth occurred in many industries including professional & business services, health care, and retail trade.

• Professional & business services added 40,000 jobs* in March; with 4,000 jobs added in computer systems design plus another 4,000 added in management and technical consulting services.

• As of the last business day of January, there were 5.0m job openings, little changed from 4.9m in December. The hires rate (3.5%) and separations rate (3.4%) also changed little in January. Over the 12 months ending January 2015, hires totaled 59.1m & separations totaled 56.0m, yielding a net employment gain of 3.1m.

What is Shift Share Analysis?According to EMSI, shift share is a standard regional analysis method that attempts to determine how much of regional job growth can be attributed to national trends and how much is due to unique regional factors. Shift share provides context that can be useful in interpreting data. For example, is 3% job growth in a particular state good or bad? The answer of course depends on how the national economy is performing, as well as other states. If national employment was flat, then 3% is very good. However, if national employment grew by 5%, then 3% could be viewed as underperforming.

In the table above, the ‘predicted change’ column is based on analysis conducted by EMSI. Their economic model takes into consideration national employment trends, regional trends and other factors to predict how an industry or occupational category might be expected to perform. While Illinois and Ohio experienced IT job growth, the model predicted they could have done slightly better. Conversely, California and Texas grew their base of IT workers faster than expected, which translates to outperforming expectations.

Outperforming expectations could be a function of momentum, policy decisions, the presence of tech hubs or robust technology ecosystem clusters, investments in human capital or any number of other factors. Underperformance could be the absence of these factors or other limitations that inhibit job growth in some way.
