Technology unemployment fell from 3.5% in the previous year to just 2.7% in the first quarter of 2014. The most growth occurred in technology consulting, with 17,200 new jobs being created. Data processing and hosting jobs lost 1,600 jobs from the previous quarter, and computer and electronic products lost about 2,900, according to government data. This report shows  that technology workers continue to be far more likely to find work than the workforce as a whole. Dice president (Dice released the report) said, “More and more companies are turning to consulting companies to help them harness the new tech age: analytics and data, infrastructure flexibility and making internal and external applications easy to use,” in a statement regarding technology unemployment. I think it is safe to say that seeking employment in the field of technology remains one of the safest bets when trying to obtain a job.
