IT jobs will go up in number this year, but IT departments will have a harder time finding the right people with talent to fit those positions, according to the 2012 IT Salary Guide from sales and service cloud consulting firm Bluewolf.
The report pointedly reveals a widening talent gap as more baby boomers reach retirement age.
Specifically, the report also shows the biggest jumps in demand for mobile, data, cloud and user engagement technologists.
