Discover High-Demand, High-Paying IT Careers in Chicagoland’s Thriving Tech Ecosystem
Chicagoland is famously a well-diversified economy, but all the region’s industries share the need for tech hires. In Chicago, from October 2022 to September 2023, there were 240,000 tech job openings for the year, but consistent with the national trend, there is a mismatch between the demand for tech talent and the supply of tech-ready talent. Over the next decade, the U.S needs 1 million more STEM professionals than it is currently on track to produce. Chicagoland must confront how to ensure its residents are equipped with the skills required to participate in a rapidly changing workforce and to earn family-sustaining wages. Technical occupations are the most promising source of high-paying stable careers, they facilitate economic growth, and they have the potential to make a big dent in income and wealth inequality in Chicagoland.
