Several recent studies have revealed an increasing shortage of skilled technical talent. For example, a recent report conducted by Crain\u2019s Chicago Business, revealed that: a) demand for tech workers continues to rise and b) the unemployment rate for tech workers is less than 4%. In fact, for some specialty tech professions unemployment is NONEXSISTANT! As a result, many employers have had to resort to signing bonuses and other unique perks to woo talent. For example, Fred Lee, Chief Technology Officer of Chicago-based Enova, an online payday lender that plans to add 50 tech workers this year to its Chicago staff of 1000 employees said, \u201cThere\u2019s a tech talent war that\u2019s happening.\u201d<\/p>\n
