U.S. tech job postings up by 76.5K in March

ILLINOIS, UNITED STATES — Employer tech job postings in the United States (U.S.) increased by 76,546 month-on-month to nearly 316,000 for March. 

According to a report by the non-profit trade association CompTIA, this growth represents the highest level of employer hiring activity in the country for the past seven months. 

Positions for software developers and engineers accounted for the largest share of job postings in March. 

Employers are also in the market for IT support specialists, systems engineers and analysts, IT project managers, and cybersecurity analysts and engineers. 

Meanwhile, about one in five tech job postings offer remote work or hybrid work arrangements as an option.

“As a forward-looking indicator, the rebound in employer tech job postings is a notable positive,” said CompTIA Chief Research Officer Tim Herbert. 

“While caution is in order given the state of uncertainty, the data suggests segments of employers may be stepping back into the tech talent market.”
