We may be in a recession and times may look bleak, but a new survey suggests there are some IT jobs that will remain in high demand. A new report on the "Top 20 Most Recession-Proof Professions" released last week by the online job placement firm JobFox.com found that employment looks strong in software design and development; networking and systems administration; software implementation analysis; testing and quality assurance; database administration; and general IT management with cutting-edge mobile IT and Web 2.0 skills. Barry Lawrence, a JobFox.com spokesman, told Computerworld that the general category of IT "popped through as the biggest winner."
"We know our recruiters are dying to get people with those skills," he said. "Everybody is trying to improve the ways they do business, to streamline in a tough economy."
