confidence up in November
Confidence in the employment market

points to 100.1.
Nearly half (48 percent) of the workers in the IT
sector reported that their financial situations were improving in
November, up from 38 percent the previous month. There was a
six-percentage point drop to 35 percent in the number reporting that
their finances were getting worse. Job satisfaction rose five points to
76 percent in November.
However, the IT workforce was
significantly more likely to expect layoffs in November, as that figure
increased from 22 percent to 27 percent. The number of workers concerned
about job security rose five points to 32
percent.
