Hi Pheonix,
Would be nice to think so but like the article says its a very small sample and doesn't really reflect the UK as a whole e.g. LlloydsTSB today announced they are making 700 IT Staff redundant.
I am a lot like you that i keep reading these stories looking for a glimmer of hope for our industry and the uk unemployment issue as a whole. However I think we need to realise that its going to take a long while for things to go back to the way they were.
Wouldnt it be great to be back in the .com boom when you could demand whatever salary you desired
