The U.S. IT division a month ago indicated proceeded with solid development, including 9,600 new occupations, while IT work over all segments of the economy dropped by 90,000 employments.
That is as indicated by CompTIA's investigation of the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics "Business Situation" report. For the year, IT business has expanded by an expected 48,900, and June denoted the fifth back to back month of work picks up.
"Regardless of the blended pack of results in the tech work advertise in the course of recent months, interest for tech ability stays solid," said Tim Herbert, CompTIA's senior VP for research and market knowledge. "There will dependably be a level of unpredictability in BLS information from month-to-month. Over the long haul, we anticipate that the development direction will proceed."
IT administrations, custom programming improvement and PC framework configuration included 6,000 positions a month ago. This class has developed by 41,000 employments through the main portion of 2018.
PC, hardware and semiconductor fabricating expanded by 5,100 occupations, incorporating picks up in the subcategories of electronic instruments (3,100), and semiconductors and electronic segments (1,700). So far this year, tech producing work has extended by 14,100 occupations.
Information handling, facilitating and related administrations included 1,100 occupations, switching May's slight advance back in business. For the year, this class has developed by 10,000 positions. Other data administrations, including look entries, developed by an unobtrusive 600 employments.
Broadcast communications work shed 3,200 positions in June. This classification has contracted by 18,200 employments so far this year; and has shed an expected 30,700 occupations amid the previous a year.
"This mirrors the continuous dynamic of telecom organizations seeking after development in new regions, for example, the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G and IT administrations, while fighting with the developing advances and plans of action of the past," Herbert said.

New CompTIA Cloud+ Certification Reflects Growing Importance of Advanced Cloud Skills
CompTIA, the leading provider of supplier-neutral skills certifications for IT staff, today launched a new version of its CompTIA Cloud + certification, adapted to the skills IT professionals need to perform effectively while deploying cloud services in their organization.
CompTIA Cloud + is the only vendor-independent, performance-based cloud certification in the industry. The content of the exam goes far beyond just covering the product of a single supplier or a single function. It is rather about advanced cloud skills in the context of broader IT systems and operations.
"Cloud computing does not happen in vacuity as an end in itself," said James Stanger, CompTIA's chief technology evangelist. "Cloud-based infrastructure services are increasingly important parts of an organization's total IT system." Hybrid and multi-cloud environments have become the norm: IT professionals need to merge these components into secure solutions that run business-critical systems and meet specific business needs. "
To replicate this environment, CompTIA is the only certification body that includes performance-based questions and hands-on simulations in its cloud certification exam. IT professionals must demonstrate their knowledge and skills in five areas: configurations and implementation, security, maintenance, management and problem solving.
For example, in the security domain, individuals are tested for their ability to apply access control methods, as well as applying major automation and orchestration practices. They also need to demonstrate the ability to anticipate and identify cyber threats to cloud technologies.
Organizations worldwide rely on CompTIA Cloud + to certify their employees. Many have contributed their expertise to the development of the new exam.
CompTIA Cloud + -certified IT professionals work in a variety of industries including aerospace, cyber security, engineering, enterprise computing, mobile technologies, systems integration and telecommunications. They carry out tasks such as system administrators, system engineers, network administrators, network engineers, cloud developers, cloud specialists and cloud engineers.
The CompTIA Cloud + exam is accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which indicates that it complies with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 17024 Standard.
The certification is also approved by the US Navy Credentialing Opportunities on-line for IT information system technicians, CTN cryptologic technician networks and information professionals.
Individuals who are interested in CompTIA Cloud + must have two to three years of work experience in the area of network, storage or IT datacenter administration. It is also recommended that they are CompTIA Network + and / or CompTIA Server + certified.

Sparked by Girls, Teens Interest in Tech Careers is on the Rise, New CompTIA Research Reveals
According to a new research report from CompTIA, the leading association in the technology industry, teenagers, especially girls, are open to the possibility of a career in information technology (IT).
Seven of the ten teenagers surveyed for the CompTIA report 'The views of young people about a career in information technology' are open to the possibility of a career in technology. That has increased by 62 percent in a CompTIA 2015 study.
The growing interest of girls creates a positive momentum. In the latest survey, 62% of girls between the ages of 13 and 17 said they would consider a career in technology, an increase of 11 percentage points compared to 2015. 80% of boys see technology as a career option. 72 percent in 2015.
"This is a promising sign that we can move in the right direction when it comes to attracting new generations of employees in our sector," said Charles Eaton, Executive Vice President of Social Services and Industry at CompTIA. CEO of Creating IT Futures. How to start the career of your teenagers in technology: the manual of a parent for the T in STEM education. "
"But the report also identifies points of attention, such as giving young people more information when they go to school and concentrate more on career opportunities," Eaton went on. "Students and their parents reconsider educational and career choices, because some lectures may be the choice, while others offer feasible alternatives for a four-year program, especially in the field of technology.
The need to attract a new generation of technology professionals is essential. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that by 2024 more than 1.2 million IT vacancies will have to be filled in as a result of growth and retirement.
What attracts teenagers to technology?
According to the CompTIA survey, teenagers believe IT jobs pay well and have the potential to do creative and interesting work on innovative ideas. A majority of teenagers also say that a job in technology can offer them the opportunity to make a difference and help people.
"Of course, technology is nowadays an integral part of the lives of teenagers, and the vast majority even say they like technology," said Anna Matthai, senior director of research and brand intelligence, CompTIA. "Adolescents also realize that the skills they derive from using technology can be easily transferred to future careers."
When asked about specific areas of computer science, designing videogames was especially popular among boys, 65% of whom said they could work in this area. Other roles that were popular among teenagers were designing apps for smartphones and working in emerging technologies, such as robotics.
But teens have also recognized some concerns about emerging technologies. Six in ten have heard of the trend of automation; and a small majority fears that this will mean fewer jobs for them in the future.
The majority of students turn to schools - teachers and supervisors - to provide information about possible career opportunities. While 72% of schools provide students with information about technological careers, there is still a gap.
Teenagers also look at the family or people they know as reliable sources of career information. But only 33% of boys and 24% of girls know someone who works for a technology company or has a job in technology.

CompTIA Board Identifies Five Factors that Shaped the Technology Industry in 2017
Political change and instability, natural disasters, the rapid emergence of blockchain and voice technologies, and the constant challenge of finding new employees are some of the critical factors that have shaped the technology industry. information in 2017, according to the Board of Directors of CompTIA, the leading association of the technology industry.
The directors of CompTIA at a board meeting earlier this month spent time discussing the events that had the greatest impact on the industry in the past 12 months. Of the approximately 20 events raised by board members, five came at the top of the list of shocking events.
The political change, instability and turmoil that marked the first year of Donald Trump's presidency had the biggest impact on the technology industry in 2017. National debates on health care and taxes; the threat of a new war on the Korean peninsula; the ongoing investigation into ties with Russia; and clashes over cultural issues have contributed to uncertainty, with the president's use of social networks above all else.
Earthquakes, hurricanes, forest fires and other natural disasters have been another major trade disrupter for the industry in 2017. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimates that 15 climatic and climate-related disasters have caused at least $ 1 billion dollars of damage to the United States. UU This does not count for damage caused by California wildfires, cyclones in Africa, floods and landslides in South Asia and earthquakes in Mexico and Iran.
Some observers have described 2017 as the "year of the voice", not because of the discovery of the next great singer, but because of the wide acceptance of consumers by voice-activated and voice-activated assistants. A CompTIA report found that six out of ten consumers are familiar with the concept of smart home technologies, led by virtual assistants. New applications for these devices, from various industries, reach the market almost every day this year, and others in 2018.
The rise of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies has sparked interest in the blockchain, a method of recording transactional information that has made significant progress in 2017. Although notoriety is still low, companies that know the technology explore blockchain as a way to confirm digital identities, maintain audit trails, and simplify common business practices, such as asset management and contractual agreements.
There is still a significant gap between the number of key IT positions that employers want to fill and the number of candidates to fill those positions. CompTIA's latest analysis of employment data shows that in the third quarter of 2017, employers in the United States UU posted job postings for nearly 604,000 IT jobs. That was 3% more than in the third quarter of 2016. As businesses become more digital and technology leaves behind the shadow of attention, trained, trained and certified professionals will become even more essential.
As the leading professional association of CompTIA Technology Association, it offers a wide selection of education and training materials, research and business intelligence, webinars and conferences, best business practices, member communities and advisory boards. technological subjects.
