CLOUD JOBS PEAKING?

January 25, 2017/Frederick Scholl/,

I have been tracking the number of “cloud” jobs listed in Indeed.com for the past five years.  See the chart below.  This isn’t a scientific survey, but an indication of the openings with the term “cloud” in the job description.  Since 2012, this number has gone up continuously.  This month’s number shows flattening when compared with 2016.  Has the supply of cloud engineers finally equaled the demand?  Will we see another increase by this summer?  In any case, clearly, businesses are rapidly moving to the cloud and the demand for people is still high.
