The information-technology job market in Connecticut is on a downswing, according to the latest research by the Connecticut Technology Council.
The sector saw lackluster job openings in February, CTC said.
Employers posted a daily average of 590 job openings on their websites last month. That was 3.5 percent higher than opening a month ago, but 18 percent lower than the 720 openings reported in February 2015.
The March 2016 “Skillproof IT Jobs Report” said when compared to the rate of IT job growth seen in early 2014 and 2015, employment prospects are trending downward for IT professionals in the state. Businesses are primarily looking to add software development-skilled staff, with a particular focus on business analysis, SQL, Oracle DBMS, and Java expertise.
The report also said trends in IT job openings hinge on the performance of large employers that dominate the IT market in the state. If a large technology employer like General Electric leaves the state, it creates a big hole.
A concern, the report added, is IT jobs are hard to recover since successful technology startups are fairly rare and often don’t need the number of technology worker a large financial services or insurance firm needs.
