The employment activity of a job sector is measured as the number of vacancies listed during a period. This is higher than the decrease in employment activity for the IT sector in Q1 of the year, which saw a 15% decrease relative to the final quarter of 2023. According to CareerJunction, these AI skills are commonly found in job seekers with experience in data analysis, data warehousing, software development, systems/network administration, and teaching.
