It's a good idea for a survey, but I'd expect most companies wouldn't have those figures yet

It's Really, May be it's too much early, in some countries like my, it's time to vacations, but we are working very hard because the idea is to increase the company in a short time.

Maybe Chris or somebody else can add that to the survey before too many more people have answered?
Too many countries to list though, maybe list regions (but still the US on their own because that would still be interesting considering the amount of chicken littles that seem to be coming out of there at the moment.)
Don't have a look at my website: http://www.chrisormerod.com

The average of these two countries will remain constant, you figure out the rest.

I don't think the figures is so grim right now. Jobs are there if you try hard enough and keep your skills up-to-date. But salary has been on the decline and you get to work those SAT/SUN more often. Many non-technical non-professionals jobs pay just as well and you actually get to go home. All you need is 3C's: Communication, Communication and Communication (Of course, you'll need a degree from a reputable university). Programming skills, on the other hand, is becoming more of a commodity.

They keep saying in the press that this is an unemployment recovery - increase in revenue, but no hiring. These numbers do seem to support that.

But some 50% of the companies are hiring though. That's not bad at all, albeit you can't really explain why/what really triggers the hiring.
It's been three years since the bubble burst. Hope the bright sunny days would be just around the corner.

No, they expect to hire somebody somewhere in the year...
and don't forget, 50% of the companies that expect a grow in revenue although don't expect more employees ...

Too bad they decide to charge money for the article. It was subscription-free just awhile back. The author predicts a boom a labor market and based her argument on retiring Baby Boomers. What I liked about the argument was first, it's based on demographic data (ie. more accurate and less speculative than time series forecast and the crystal ball) and second, it sounds good =)

Retiring boomers are all well and good in general; but how many boomers are programmers?

Or perhaps it's just a case of "Nowhere to go but up" (either that or bankruptcy).
