Despite the increasing news stating that outsourcing have lessened the hiring of tech workers, Cyberstates reports that tech workers in the US are very much in demand now.

The news report shows that the US tech industry have hired an estimate of 5.8 million people last year. This figure showed a dramatic increase (2.6%) as compared from the year 2005. To find out the exact statistics, you could refer to the image included in this entry.

Personally, I believe that the increase in hiring of tech workers is the effect of most outsourcing tasks being brought in-house. This kind of management makes companies more smart in their outsourcing decisions. On the other hand, outsourcing does not really have that devastating effect in the tech industry because most of the important tech jobs in the US are being maintained within the country.
