Abstract: This is a study of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on salary and employment trends in Information technology (IT) jobs over the period January 1, 2019 to April 30, 2021. The study is an effort to determine the impact of COVID on IT jobs and salary. We examine data from Burning Glass Labor Insight which includes over 40 million US job postings per year. We gain key insights into IT jobs compared to other STEM jobs as well as variances among IT positions.
