“Most affected by the change on the labor market are the 10,000 graduates from 2008, who cannot be absorbed by the market, but also the IT employees in the project management area,” Mihai Moghior, Managing Partner of the Brainspotting company, said. “If they want to find a job, they will surely find one. But their salary demands have changed significantly in a year of crisis. In 2008, before the crisis, applicants would not have accepted to switch jobs for anything less than an additional 25 percent to their salary. Now, if you see that your friends are spending six months looking for a job, you say yes more easily,” Moghior added.

According to a study by the BitDefender company, 13.7 percent of the employees in the IT field are presently looking for a job. There are currently more than 500 vacancies in the IT sector on the eJobs Web site, mostly on the software segment. Demand is double supply.

Dan Roman, Chairman of the Board of the S&T company, said that an element that could lead to a worsening in the situation of employees in the field is that none of the major public sector projects have been initiated.
