Cloud, IT Architecture Top List Of Highest-Paying Tech Jobs
CIODIVE, Monday, December 18,2023
Skill gaps led companies to pay a premium for top tech talent, increasing the average annual salary by $20,000 this year.
With IT unemployment rates nearing historical lows, skills gaps put pressure on companies to pay up for top talent this year. In November, the rate fell to 1.7%, its lowest level since January, according to a CompTIA review of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
'Demand continues to surpass supply when it comes to skilled tech talent,' Orla Daly, CIO at Skillsoft, said in an email. 'It's therefore not surprising that salaries continue to rise, especially in areas like cloud computing and IT architecture, where the talent pool is already more limited.'
