IT employment remained essentially flat in June, ticking up a mere 200 net jobs from May, according to TechServe Alliance, the national trade association for the IT & Engineering Staffing and Solutions Industry. On a year-over-year basis, IT employment grew by 0.31%, adding 16,400 jobs. Meanwhile, engineering employment inched down 0.07% month-over-month and down 0.36% compared to the same period last year.
“IT employment continues to reflect a market in a holding pattern—neither contracting significantly nor showing signs of sustained growth,” said Mark Roberts, CEO of TechServe Alliance. “While year-over-year change remains marginally positive after modest growth from May 2024 through February 2025, demand remains below 2024 levels and well off post-COVID highs. With companies still cautious about launching new initiatives, hiring remains concentrated in areas like AI, cloud, and cybersecurity. Until there is greater clarity around the broader economic and policy landscape, we anticipate this ‘running in place’ dynamic to continue.”
