and suppliers, the number of IT jobs grew by 5,600 in August to 3,886,200. The number of

member companies continue to reflect strong demand for IT professionals. While takingnothing for granted, our sector remains upbeat about future growth prospects for ITemployment as we begin the last four months of the year, stated Mark Roberts, CEO of

###
Technical note: TechServe Alliance's IT Employment Index is the first specific measurement of ITemployment. This unique measurement of total IT employment is created monthly by studying the
ongoing staffing patterns of a dozen IT and computer related occupations in 16 industries and industrysectors employing significant numbers of IT workers including the manufacturing, wholesale and retailtrade, financial, information services, business and professional services, and education and healthindustries. The monthly IT Employment Index is based on U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data,which is subject to monthly revisions, and therefore, the Index is revised accordingly. The ITEmployment Index is also subject to annual revisions and was benchmarked in February 2010 with the
publication of the BLS January 2010 employment report, which included revisions to several years ofemployment data.
