The IT job market has improved together with the general job market since the beginning of the year. The Bureau of Labor Statistics produces monthly information about the general job market which is closely watched by Wall Street and anybody involved with human resources. Unfortunately this information does not detail i.e. whether the need for Java programmers in New York City has increased or decreased in past 30 days or that the demand for Peoplesoft Specialists has increased by 10% in Southern California in the last quarter.
