ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — In November, IT employment continued its pattern of month-over-month growth and outperforming the general labor market.

According to a monthly index of IT jobs developed and published by TechServe Alliance, a collaboration of IT services firms, clients, consultants and suppliers, the number of IT jobs increased by more than 7,100 rising to 4,068,400 jobs in November, up by more than 84,000 jobs from November 2010 or 2.1%.
