Tech-Job Boom Around Corner?(A)
Byline: DONNA HOWELL
Friday's much ballyhooed jobs report showed no rampant hiring across the technology sector.
But a jobs upswing seen in many industries will help tech by encouraging tech spending, economists said.
"We're seeing the early indications that the job market is on its way back," said Bob Cohen, a spokesman for the Information Technology Association of America, a trade group.
Other indicators suggest a tech-hiring trend in the offing, analysts say.
Professional and business services added 42,000 jobs in March, while computer systems design and related services added 4,900, up slightly.
But computer and electronics products manufacturing saw the number of hours worked per week slip .1 to 40.7. Telecom trimmed 2,000 jobs.
