The news is getting better if you are looking for an IT job. New data from the Department of Labor Statistics shows that 7,400 IT-related jobs came on the market in July--that's just one month after the sector lost that many.

Since February, IT job numbers declined between 3,000 and 11,000 per month, including 7,600 jobs in June. According to the statistics reported by Network World, the job numbers show that the United States lost a total of 247,000 jobs in July. IT jobs are gaining ground, but the market is still volatile.

"There has been a vibrancy in the job market throughout this recession driven by employers search for IT workers with the right skills and experience for the job," David Foote, CEO of Foote Partners, a research group that tracks IT salary and skills, told Network World. He added, "If anything, I expect this to intensify in the next several months."
