How did tech hiring change between 2019 and 2021?
For this report, we collected data on U.S.-based technology jobs from over 10,000 companies for the years 2019, 2020, and 2021. We then analyzed the jobs data for trends. We found that growth for tech jobs overall contracted in 2020 because of the Covid-19 pandemic, predictably. And we found that, although hiring rebounded in 2021, many of the trends that emerged during the pandemic hung around for the rebound as well.
