Juniper Jobs

As a Juniper Services Company, demand from customers for utlising our consultants for project work is sky high at the moment. I'm not sure whether this is down to the fact that we are a growing company or whether due to the financial climate, restructing of staff and redundancies have left skills gaps in clients IT departments.

Anyway this recent surge led me to have a look at the state of the Juniper Jobs Market and I thought I'd share these interesting stats with you from itjobswatch.
