Bangalore: Since the U.S. firms are hiring people with key skill sets to boost their business the demand for IT professionals has seen an increase in the third quarter of 2010. There was a 15 percent jump in Tech jobs posting for most of the skills compared to the same period in 2009. The biggest demand came in the month of August and September. "There is a steady demand for quality and technically skilled people in the U.S. IT industry as companies invest in new solutions," said Prabakaran Murugaiah, Founder and CEO of Corp-Corp.com. "Every month, companies are hiring more IT professionals". California, where most large U.S. technology firms such as Google, Hewlett Packard and Facebook are located, was the top state to hire IT experts. The US East Coast followed West Coast companies in hiring skilled technology people in Q3. The top 10 American states for technology jobs are California, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Georgia, Massachusetts, and Florida. An analysis of all jobs that were opened during this period showed a sharp increase in skills that require business analysts and experts in Data Warehousing, Java, J2EE, Oracle Apps, SAP and mobile application. The key development in Q3 was the demand for cloud computing professionals for segments such as Salesforce and mobile application, a segment that witnessed little jobs last year.
