Note: there are certain limitations in using monthly data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Not all information technology occupation and industry categories are available on a monthly
basis so this data should be viewed as a proxy. Additionally, there tends to be higher levels of volatility and variance in monthly data, so CompTIA advises viewing workforce trends over a
longer period of time. The net of tech industry and tech occupation employment equates to net tech employment, as defined by CompTIA. Backward revisions to prior month’s data may occur
from the sources used in this report. non-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate as defined by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics captures individuals actively looking for work in the past
four weeks. Furloughed workers may have an expectation for returning to their employer and therefore are not actively looking and not counted in unemployment rate figures. For questions
related to the data or methodology, please contact the CompTIA Research Team at research@comptia.org.
