CDW study: IT study stagnant

Rising confidence among IT decision makers about the prospect of economic growth is still not translating into jobs for IT professionals.

CDW's IT Monitor, which has been tracking IT sentiment since the beginning of the recession, shows that caution still pervades for anticipated hiring even though increased spending on products and services is expected.

According to the CDW IT Monitor, less than one in four (22 percent) of all IT decision makers expect to hire additional IT staff in the next six months. This level has hovered between 21 and 22 percent since December 2009.

Many leading economists believe that historically, small businesses are drivers of employment in recoveries. CDW is based in Vernon Hills.
