While the U.S. economy overall has shed 438,000 jobs this year, businesses here have added nearly 90,000 IT positions in the same period, revealing the trend of firms "prioritizing tech projects over other work," according to Mark Roberts, CEO of the National Association of Computer Consultant Businesses.  Wall Street Journal, The/Business Technology (7/7)
