It seems like we may be hearing some good news on the economic front or the media has been busy with that virus previously known as swine flu. According to Career Voyages, www.careervoyages.gov there are 2 IT related jobs in the top 10  ‘In Demand’ jobs. Computer Software Engineers ranks number 6 and Computer Systems Analyst are ranked number 8.

As a recruiter, when talking about the training of the spouse for someone relocating I am secretly hoping for a Healthcare Professional or a School Teacher.   Nurses came in as number 1 followed by physicians in 3rd place and elementary teachers were number 4 and secondary teachers number 10 on the list.   Since I have shared 6 ‘In Demand’ professions,  I might as well share the top ten.

1) Registered Nurse

2) General and operations managers

3) Physicians and surgeons

4) Elementary School Teachers

5) Accountants and auditors

6) Computer Software Engineers

7) Sales Representatives and Managers

Computer System Analysts

9) Management analysts

10) Secondary School Teachers

This is also handy news for spouses looking to make a career change to make relocating with their IT consultant spouse easier since they will be in demand in the coming years!
