Survey Says: Spherion Survey Shows IT Workers Feel Secure in Their Jobs Despite Waning Economic Optimism
The IT Employee Confidence Index decreased by 1.4 points to 58 in the first quarter of 2007, according
to the latest Spherion IT Employment Report, conducted by Harris
Interactive(R) on behalf of Spherion Corporation. The Employee Confidence
Index dropped due to less workers believing in the strength of the economy
and job availability, despite increased confidence levels among IT workers
in their personal employment situations.
Results from the IT Employment Report:
-- 34 percent of information technology workers are likely to look for a
new job in the next 12 months, down 12 percentage points from the
previous quarter.
-- 24 percent of workers believe the economy is getting stronger,
decreasing eight percentage points from the fourth quarter of 2006.
-- Three-quarters (75%) of surveyed workers believe it is unlikely they
will lose their job, increasing one percentage point from the fourth
quarter of last year.
"The U.S. is experiencing a measurable shortage of domestic IT talent,
causing technology companies to go as far as to lobby Congress to grant
more H-1B visas to temporary foreign IT workers," said Brendan Courtney,
senior vice president of Spherion(R) Professional Services Group. "The
confluence of a growing tech economy, the recent Web 2.0 renaissance and
the steady decline in science and engineering graduates, has created an
abundance of open IT jobs with nobody to fill them. That being said, more
high tech employers are offering existing employees retention incentives to
remain competitive, so it is not surprising to see IT workers feeling
confident about their job security."
