NASHVILLE TECHNOLOGY JOB GROWTH CONTINUES
Research Reveals 892 Openings in Technology in Q2. 112% Increase from Q1.
The Nashville Technology Council today announced the release of its Q2 2010 Technology Hiring Trends Report. After extensive research, the report reveals over 892 technical jobs available in the Middle Tennessee area. The report was generated from public job postings from large job portals (i.e. CareerBuilder, Monster, etc.), specialty technology sites (i.e. Dice) and local employer sites.
The highest number of openings came from enterprise health care technology companies: Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), Deloitte (D), and Community Health Systems (CHS). In addition, other local industry heavyweights like music, publishing, manufacturing, and transactions continue to post job openings in technology.
The most prevalent technology positions are in software development. Development is followed by Management, Analyst, Web Developers, and Network Engineers. In addition to job openings, the report also illustrates programming languages that are most needed in the today’s technology industry. .Net, Java, C#, and PHP are in highest demand for potential employees, as well as SQL database positions.
“Technology rebounded quickly as an industry in the second quarter. In particular tech jobs in healthcare, digital content, publishing, and transactions,” said J. Tod Fetherling, President/CEO of Nashville Technology Council. “Nashville’s technology community has many exciting new opportunities for employment.”
The Nashville Technology Council also announced a partnership with Vaco to help fund and support the on-going job research initiative. The two organizations will begin investigating a statewide initiative for the technology job report.
