Job trend analysis marks growth of data science, AI roles

Many tech workers find themselves on the precipice of change: their organizations may decide to continue remote work for the foreseeable future, they may adopt a hybrid work schedule or they'll return to on-premises full time. But while a recent study showed that most employees said they'll stay in their current positions, they also said they expected a greater return from their employers, which means if they don't get that "return," they'll be on the job market. Many organizations were hit hard by the impact of the pandemic and, coupled with the safety protocols required for workers who do go into the office, they might not be able to accommodate employees' demands. This represents potential for the tech industry, with pros looking for new positions and companies looking for new talent. LHH, formerly Lee Hecht Harrison, global provider of talent and leadership development, career transition and coaching, analyzed job openings for March 2021, and its findings can provide insight for tech pros, whether they want to remain in their jobs or if they might consider "putting feelers out."
