Tech Demands | Trend Watch with Seth Robinson

Tech layoffs make headlines—but what do the numbers reveal about demand for technology skills?

In this episode of CompTIA's Trend Watch, Seth Robinson breaks down the latest Tech Jobs Report and explains why employment at technology companies doesn't tell the whole story. Tech professionals work across healthcare, finance, manufacturing, education, and other industries, where employers continue to invest in technology.

"Tech Demands" explores three key findings:

• How tech industry employment differs from tech occupations across the economy.
• What growth in job postings across IT support, cybersecurity, software development, and other roles tells us about employer priorities.
• Why active job postings reaching a three-year high matters for the technology workforce.

Seth also discusses how demand for AI skills builds on foundational IT knowledge. Employers need people who understand networking, security, and technical support as they develop more advanced capabilities.

Whether you're exploring a tech career or building a team, this episode puts the employment headlines into perspective.
