The general economic downturn is leaving its mark on IT salaries, according to an independent study released on Monday.

Datamation: "Security is a hot area for IT job openings. While the need for some tech skills waxes and wanes as IT churns through its constant overhaul, the need to protect the infrastructure seems only to increase.

And, security jobs can't be shipped overseas"

Despite a faltering economy and gloomy economic projections, IT professionals may fare better than people working in other job sectors this year, according to a "2009 IT Salary Report," announced on Tuesday by Computer Economics.
