Show More A little over a year after the first COVID-19 lockdowns in the US, the US IT industry has recovered the jobs lost in the aftermath and added new ones. And that growth looks likely to continue, resuming the annual growth seen before the pandemic. The latest figures from IT employment consultancy Janco Associates show 23,600 IT jobs were added in April, based on the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) monthly reports. Thart's a remarkable number given that the total for February and March combined was 9,100, a big decline from earlier BLS estimates of 15,900 for the period. The BLS data has been highly volatile, revised downward some months and upward others. So it's possible that the 23,600 new jobs seen in April could end up being revised down. Still, the IT industry now has more jobs than when the pandemic hit.
