Industry watchers expect the worst is over in terms of IT layoffs as many companies reassess current staff levels and begin to slowly fill holes in high-tech skills within their organizations. Survey data from Robert Half Technology shows that 86% of 1,400 CIOs polled intend to maintain their current staff levels for the remainder of 2009, while 6% plan to expand IT teams and 6% expect to see more cuts. In addition, announced job cuts continue to decline, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, which reported that the 76,456 eliminated positions in August marked a 21% decline from the 97,373 cut jobs announced in July. "That does not necessarily mean that there will be a sudden surge in job creation as 2010 gets underway, but we will at least be heading in the right direction," said CEO John Challenger.
