Linux Jobs Growing Faster Than Other Technical Categories

Linux related jobs continue to outpace its counterparts. An article on SearchEnterpriseLinux.com goes into details of the findings from data collected by Dice.com.

Not surprisingly, the number of overall technical jobs have been reduced sequentially on a year by year basis. However, the important thing to note is the fact that open source related jobs are growing at a faster clip than Windows and other technical areas. More and more enterprises have adopted open source software into their data centers. This trend continues to this day. Hopefully, in the future we will not only be talking about open source jobs outpacing Windows jobs from a percentage standpoint, but we will be mentioning that there are more overall positions available that require an open source skill set than Windows.
