    Boomed: IT workers 'find employment'

    Linky:

    Half of technology professionals say that they have been able to find work within three months.

    That's according to a new poll from recruitment consultancy First Point, which suggested that just 16 per cent of candidates are taking a year or more to start a job.

    Tom Fahey, managing director of First Point, told the news provider: 'Information technology remains a key business need across all industries.

    'The fact that both permanent and temporary workers continue to find work in a short period of time demonstrates the value placed upon skilled personnel.'
    Excuse me, but isn't this the same as:

    - Over one in six are taking a year or more to start a job.
