ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Employment of IT workers continued to grow last month despite an overall jobs report that many experts characterize as weak. In June 2006, employment of IT workers increased 2,400 from the previous month to 3,657,600, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 4.4% from June 2005. For the past 12 months, employment of information technology (IT) workers increased by more than 152,000, according to the National Association of Computer Consultant Businesses (NACCB). "The increase in June," said Mark Roberts, NACCB CEO, "is indicative of strong demand for IT professionals including those that work within IT services sector. Businesses continue to require more IT talent to help increase productivity and gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. The number of IT employees has continued to grow consistently since last year."

"We are seeing strong demand for the services of IT staffing and solutions companies. When demand for IT talent is high, it often outstrips the ability of companies to recruit the necessary IT skillsets or staff projects through their internal resources. Companies will turn to IT services firms to either supplement their own staff or outsource entire projects," Roberts said.
