IT Salaries Impacted in the Downturn

The prospects look grim for IT professionals.  A perfect storm driven by the recent world wide economic downturn, company closures, lay-offs, cost cutting, outsourcing, and retirees who have had to return to the job market because of the lost value of their investment portfolios have created a surplus of IT talent.  The CEO of Janco Associates, Victor Janulaitis said, "The job market for IT professionals is one of the worst that I have seen since the late 1970's.  There is a surplus of IT talent and companies are in a cost cutting mode. The dot com bubble was a cake walk compared to this job market."

The January 2009 IT salary survey reflects the market conditions of today and a summary of Janco's findings are:

• Overall compensation for IT professionals is down for the first time since the dot-com bubble
• Hiring demand is the lowest that we have seen it in the 15 plus years that we have conducted this study
• Companies are reducing the number of IT contractors that they using
• Fringe benefits are being reduced by companies
• Supply of IT professionals is at a very high level due to lay-offs, deferred retirements, and individuals trying to re-enter the IT job market because they can not find other jobs or have found they can not stay retired with the decrease in value of their retirement accounts.
