TechServe Alliance has estimated U.S. companies created 210,200 new information technology jobs and 36,300 new engineering positions over the past 12 months.
On a month-over-month basis, the IT workforce across the U.S. grew by 0.4 percent to roughly 4,856,400 in February 2015, TechServe Alliance said Wednesday.
