2024 IT Skills & Certifications Pay Volatility Index (free to current customers only)

**THESE REPORTS ARE FREE TO EXISTING CUSTOMERS** OR CAN BE PURCHASED AT ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION PRICING(four quarterly issues)

This completely updated quarterly data-driven report--distributed free to all Foote Partners active customer accounts--tracks cash pay premiums price volatility for 1,348 IT skills and certifications paid to more than 101,182 IT professionals and is useful in a variety of ways: analyzing and forecasting demand for skills and certs; monitoring IT workforce transition; and understanding IT management decision making. In fact, we believe statistical volatility in IT skills pay offers a more complete story of true labor market conditions than salary movements and hiring behavior, among other common indicators. Important in this distinction is that skills can be segmented and benchmarked more meaningfully than jobs allowing to microanalyses.

Similar to jobs, IT skills can be grouped into broad skills categories that can be tracked (e.g., security, networking, systems, database, applications development). But unlike jobs, skills pay can be pinpointed to hundreds of tech niches and specialization. Also, unlike most job trends analyses, within skills categories and niches are vendor-specific and vendor independent skill specializations for more granular tracking, analysis, and forecasting.

This quarterly updated report is published as part of our IT Skills Demand & Pay Trends Report.
