It’s an interesting time for the IT job market.

On the one hand, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the overall unemployment rate remains low at 3.4%. And according to CompTIA, the tech unemployment rate is even lower -- just 1.8%. For the 25th straight month in a row, technology companies hired more workers than they lost. And employers in all sectors hired approximately 130,000 IT professionals in December alone.

But at the same time, workers are hearing a constant drumbeat of job losses. By some counts, technology companies have laid off more than 150,000 people in recent months.

But not all roles have been affected equally by the recent job cuts.

Some of the very same tech companies that laid off large groups of workers are still hiring -- but only for certain roles. For example, at the time of writing, Meta had more than 758 jobs posted on its website. Microsoft had 833. At Google, the count was 919.

If you have the right skills and experience, it is still a very good time to be looking for work in IT. So, what exactly are the right skills and experience?

The following slides highlight 10 roles with plenty of open positions compared to the number of applicants. They also include average salaries for each role based on data from Salary.com.
