Hiring demand for Web developers remains strong according to a new report. The most commonly advertised job titles during the study period were the following:
- Java Developer
- Web Developer
- .Net Developer
- Sharepoint Developer
- Web Designer
- PHP Developer
- J2ee Developer
The report was issued by WANTED Analytics™. It also stated that the nationwide candidate pool consists of less than one potential candidate for each job listing.
Meaning: There are not enough Web Developers in the workforce to fill available job openings!
