Tech Hiring Favors Experienced Developers

Employers report more software‑developer openings (Indeed: +15% YoY) while information‑sector jobs decline and IT unemployment edges up, but hiring demand skews toward experienced candidates, squeezing recent graduates. That bifurcation means surface metrics (more postings) can mask fewer accessible entry paths into tech careers. — If true and sustained, this hiring split raises questions about inequality, the value of recent technical degrees, and whether public policy or training programs should pivot to support early‑career pipelines.
