For a jobseeker it specialists is it difficult to change between now and 2016 to find a job. The reason is that few computer scientists are retiring and companies are less hire new people. Programmers are an exception.

The ‘will’, the number of employees through retirement must be replaced, falls for it specialists until 2016, with 4.6 percent per year. The demand for new it specialists take meanwhile with a half a percent per year.
Under ‘computer scientists’ bring to the university a number of professions. In addition to pure computer scientists are also programmers, systems analysts, and technical systems analysts. The ‘real’ computer scientists get the most difficult; there is hardly any substitute, and the demand for new people is low. Programmers are an exception. Although the number of programmers that retirement is low, the demand for new people. Researcher Didier Fourage of the university calls the demand for new programmers ‘average’.
Also for systems analysts is the repairs and replacements is low, but the demand for new employees, on average. In technical systems analysts are the two factors on average. The demand for new people depends on the economic situation; if that deteriorates, also get programmers more difficult, thus Foraging.
