RE: IT jobs outlook for 2009: The good and the bad

The list of companies hiring shows the trends. Where will IT workers be needed when employees have netbooks and systems are SaaS? Salesforce.com (SaaS), Intel (netbooks), Cisco (the network does not go away) and Walmart (IT to lower the cost of goods and services). The only curious thing is why project managers are on the high end of the pay scale. The pending skills crunch, as boomers retire and get laid off, is going to be huge. If all you know is project management and current IT tools, how can you build stuff that is innovative or provides special value to your company? Answer: It will be a challenge.
