Previously, Eduardo Martinez, a senior economist for Moody’s Analytics, told Dice News that consulting jobs remain strong because companies still loathe to hire full-time IT workers. Such an approach also bodes well for the services sector, where companies rely on vendors to deliver required projects and tasks, rather than do them in-house. Meanwhile, the computer systems, design and services sector captured the second highest level of year-over-year job growth and showed strong consecutive monthly growth so far this year. There were some 1.66 million jobs in January, which rose about 1 percent to 1.68 million jobs in April. And while the professional and technical services sector -- which by far employs the most people in tech -- posted a decent 3 percent rise from a year ago, its consecutive monthly job growth only slightly outperformed computer systems, design and services. The number of jobs in the sector increased 1.22 percent between January and April, from 7.8 million jobs to 8 million jobs. Tech Jobs Rise 2.6 Percent from April 2012
