As the technology and engineering industries continue to rapidly evolve, it’s critical to stay up-to-date with the latest hiring trends, employee expectations and competitive salaries.

Hiring managers are facing unique challenges in the workforce today.  Being in the know on which sectors and jobs are growing is key for attracting the best talent. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, STEM occupations will grow by eight percent by 2029. More specifically employment in computer and information technology occupations is projected to grow eleven percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations. Demand for these workers will be driven from greater emphasis on cloud computing, the collection and storage of big data, and information security.
