Although generally satisfied with their roles, especially given high unemployment rates, most of the 1,400-plus IT workers and managers who participated in our annual Job Satisfaction Survey are sorely missing the perks of a healthy economy. What they're getting instead are increased workloads, fewer career opportunities and less training than ever. Our report shows how IT workers really feel about their jobs, their bosses, their paychecks, their careers and the industry.
