# IT jobs climb to the year's all-time high

Written by: [Innovative Employee Solutions](https://blog.innovativeemployeesolutions.com/ies-blog-nb-24/author/innovativeemployeesolutions)

Last month, HR administrations throughout the country recruited more new employees in the IT field than in any other industry. The [number of information technology jobs climbed to 4.4 million](http://www.techservealliance.org/pressroom/documents/IndexreleaseApril2013.pdf), or 14,800 more than February, according to new research by the TechServe Alliance, an online IT services site.

The study found March's numbers show a new high this year, with IT jobs steadily rising from around 4.3 million in January. Compared to March of 2012, the amount of jobs has increased roughly 5 percent and is projected to continue growing throughout the rest of the year. 

Mark Roberts, chief executive officer of TechServe Alliance, sees this increase as a great sign for the job industry. 

"While I know the overall jobs report disappointed most observers, I am pleased to see that IT continues on a steady growth trajectory," said Roberts. "Based on the data and anecdotal reports I hear from my member companies, demand for IT talent remains very strong with shortages in many skill sets. We continue to believe the sector will remain a bright spot in the economy throughout 2013."
