According to the Dice hiring survey conducted in May, they're:
- Java/J2EE
- Security
- Software Developer
- SAP
- Database Administrator
- .NET
- Oracle
- Sharepoint
- C#
- Active Federal Government Security Clearance
New to this year's top ten: software developers and C#. Others are firmly rooted in the "hard-to-find" category, like security analysts and engineers, database administrators and technology professionals with active federal security clearances.
As a group, folks in these areas make about $10,000 more than the "average" tech professional, nationally. They're also receiving double the pay raise, compared to tech professionals as a whole.
More details here, in this month's Dice Report.
