As we get ready to close out February, I am curious to see what the unemployment numbers will look like as January was moving in an upward direction vs. how 2024 closed out. With the disruptions in the federal government space, and its impact on the government contracting industry… How will that impacts the overall tech space?

Some data points included:

• Tech unemployment rate climbed in January to 2.9 percent, while the national unemployment rate stands at 4 percent.
• “Tech hiring activity was solid across the key categories… Employers continue to balance the need for foundational tech talent and skills with the push into next gen fields.”
• Employers also continue to hire tech professionals who have the right mix of skills and experience, even if those pros don’t have a bachelor’s degree.
