The net 12 percent hiring increase is up two percentage points from the net 10 percent increase projected last quarter and unchanged from one year ago. The majority of respondents (82 percent) expect to maintain current staff levels.
The IT Hiring Index and Skills Report is based on telephone interviews with more than 1,400 CIOs from companies across the United States with 100 or more employees.
