An analysis of available data sets by CompTIA found that the U.S. technology sector employment continues to increase. In the first six months of 2019, more than 56,000 jobs were created for technology professionals, with another 13,500 jobs created in the month of June alone.

This information comes from an examination of data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ “Employment Situation” report. Compared to last years’ report, so far this year an additional 6,700 jobs have been created as opposed to the first six months of 2018.

“The mid-year tech employment report card shows many positives, reflecting the broad-based employer demand for tech talent,” says Tim Herbert, Executive Vice President for Research and Market Intelligence at CompTIA. “Businesses continue to make progress in adopting a range of emerging technologies, with hiring following suit.”

In addition to the findings on new tech jobs created, the information suggests that the unemployment rate for IT occupations stands at 1.5 percent, compared to a nationwide unemployment rate of 3.7 percent – a significant difference. The highest employment gains came in the categories of technology services, custom software development and computer systems design, and computer and electronics products manufacturing.

Software and application developers are the most in-demand occupations at the moment, with 83,700 jobs posted in June. Computer user support specialists, computer systems engineers and architects, computer systems analysts, and web developers are the rest of the top five IT occupation job postings in the month of June.
