Someone still needs to run the network.

Well, amidst all the bad news about the economy, some good news.  Denise Dubie points out that, assuming that the company in question hasn’t completely failed, “Bear-Stearns” style, high-tech talents such as network engineering remain in demand, according to a poll by Robert Half Technology and Bluewolf.

Network administrators were in demand by 65% of CIOs polled, and while it’s hard to believe, according to Bluewolf, salaries of those with networking expertise will spike in the coming months, with a salary increase of 14%.

Here’s the downside: Project managers will have salary decreases over the next year, according to the same poll.

I know this is a short post, but with so much bad news coming out about the economy, I just wanted to report on something economic that elicited a “Yay!” for once.
