So, about that IT job market...

[Michael Webb]

I hear something on NPR a few weeks back about employees leaving for better
(new) jobs, that this was the fastest growing sector of new hires, people
who already had a job.  ie.. They said it was a good sign for the economy!

I've also been contacted by a lot of recruiters recently.

I'd say definitely (b), and a some bit of (a) as well.  There's a bunch
of factors contributing to this, IMO:

* companies are "unfreezing" their hiring freezes

* companies are starting to grow/make money again

* companies are finally starting to realize their employees are burned
out doing multiple jobs and so are forced to hire

* employees are starting to leave for better jobs, and so they need to
hire replacements

etc.
