IT jobs growing but there's not enough people to fill them

If you work in computers in the Westchester region, things are looking good for you my friends...

Businesses nationwide are expected to increase spending on information technology and hire more professionals in the new year. Yet many college students remain reluctant to pursue IT careers, convinced that the jobs they would hold will eventually be outsourced overseas.

Now, Pace University and a Manhattan tracker of IT employment data hope to show these students and others that employment prospects are brighter than they think. Pace and SkillPROOF Inc., formerly based in Yonkers, have created a new quarterly index intended to measure demand for IT specialists by major employers in Westchester as well as Manhattan.

In Westchester, the Pace SkillPROOF Information Technology Index for the third quarter of 2006 showed a 43 percent jump in IT jobs compared with the year-ago quarter -- reflected in a climb in the index score from 61 to 104. A fourth-quarter index will be released this month.
