IT Sector Booms “JobThai” Reports Demand for Over 4,000 Positions

The trend of digital technology continues to surge. Those pursuing careers in IT have a significant advantage in this era, as all jobs increasingly rely on modern technology to simplify tasks. At the same time, there is a pressing need to advance cutting-edge technology for future use, resulting in a continuously growing demand in the IT and technology job market.

According to the latest data from JobThai.com, which has compiled and analyzed job listings in the IT sector on its website, the average demand for IT jobs in the labor market during January to February 2018 was between 3,000 and 4,000 positions per month.

Here are the top 5 IT jobs in highest demand:

  1. Programmer: 1,238 positions, accounting for 8%
  2. IT Administrator: 464 positions, accounting for 8%
  3. Technical Support: 451 positions, accounting for 4%
  4. Web Programmer: 243 positions, accounting for 2%
  5. Digital Marketing: 208 positions, accounting for 2%

The data indicates that the demand for IT jobs is increasing in the labor market. However, Thailand currently faces a significant shortage of skilled personnel in this field. This has prompted both the government and private sectors to accelerate efforts to create various pathways for developing the new generation by supporting learning and emphasizing the importance of adapting to changes. Meanwhile, workers in other fields should prepare themselves by learning, enhancing their skills and experiences, and studying additional expertise in various areas to drive business growth effectively.
