While tech companies are laying off staff claiming that they are cutting costs because of “economic headwinds” they do not seem that keen to let their open saucers go.
Linux Foundation executive director, Jim Zemlin said that open source was countercyclical to that trend. The Linux Foundation had its best first quarter ever.
Linux Foundation research SVP Hilary Carter, said in her keynote speech at Open Source Summit North America in Vancouver, Canada: "In spite of what the headlines are saying, the facts are 57 per cent of organisations are adding workers this year."
Carter was quoting figures from the Linux Foundation's latest job survey, which was released at the event.
Other research points to brighter signs in tech employment trends. CompTIA's recent analysis of the latest Bureau of Labour Statistics (BLS) data suggests the tech unemployment rate climbed by just 2.3 per cent in April. In fact, more organisations plan to increase their technical staff levels rather than decrease.
