For a while, IT/Information Systems/Data Processing made a run at replacing Industry and Manufacturing as the number-one discipline in Top Echelon Network . . . at least as far as the number of placements made was concerned.
That didn’t happen, but now it looks as though Engineering is making a run at Manufacturing.
According to the Network’s second quarter statistics, those two disciplines are one-two in terms of placements. Manufacturing accounted for 27.1% of placements during the 12-month cycle ending on June 30, while Engineering posted a percentage of 24.0%.
Behind those two are the following disciplines:
- IT/Information Systems/Data Processing—12.0%
- Sales and Marketing—10.2%
- Accounting—8.4%
- Healthcare—6.2%
Below are Network statistics for the second quarter, including percentages for job orders, candidates, and placements in relation to the major disciplines.
