As the U.S. emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, the job market is slowly showing signs of a rebound. For the IT sector and workforce, which remained steady throughout the global health crisis, the reopening of the country signals acceleration of hiring across many top-level IT employee categories, according to the recent Cyberstates report issued by The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA).
“The tech sector and the broader base of technology workers employed across the economy experienced several bumps during this turbulent period, but generally held up well,” noted the Cyberstates report. “In some cases, demand for technology services and infrastructure to support new remote work models, ecommerce, or revamped supply chains exploded, stretching the capacity of solution providers and MSPs.”
As the pandemic has reshaped approaches to work, so has IT hiring practices — with many companies now offering remote and hybrid work positions as a reflection of shifting work-life values and requirements of potential new employees.
Here is a list of technology companies with IT or IT-related job openings right now.
