According to the website “Silicon.de” the IT industry is the third most hit by the crisis in terms of job losses in the U.S. with more than 22’330 redundancies announced in January. In 2008 already, 186’995 US IT workers lost their jobs which equates to an increase of 75% compared to 2007.



In fact, well-known companies such as Microsoft, Intel, Ericsson and Texas Instruments all announced redundancies last month but it seems that the war for talent in far from being close to an end. Many IT companies are still recruiting workers, even those that are firing people like Microsoft. It’s just that the skills required are not those available on the labour market or not in sufficient quantity.
