  • Tech layoffs have reduced the number of IT jobs available, report claims
  • SMBs are most likely to hire highly skilled IT workers
  • AI and cybersecurity skills remain in hot demand

Almost 71,000 IT positions were lost across 2023 and 2024 as the industry continues to grapple with tough economic conditions, geopolitical tensions and ongoing skills shortages, new research has claimed.

A report by Janco notes how although the trend is slowly improving, with 48,600 jobs lost in 2023 compared with 22,300 in 2024, the reality appears to be that IT jobs remain increasingly difficult to acquire and retain.
