Surely that must be just where you work.

Figures recently published showed Public sector IT contract ads down by 50% in the past year - although they do appear to have bottomed out.

From the amount of time you spend here one would guess that it wouldn't matter which sector was doing well or badly - none of them wants to hire dear old Shaunbhoy.

Get out of Public Sector and into the Financial Sector

A new survey has show that Financial Services is the new boom area for IT Contractors and the Public Sector is a no-no due to Government cutbacks.

Hope you are all in the right sector - for those that are working.
