Mean compensation for CIOs remains unchanged, averaging just over $170,000.
Workers in the areas of e-commerce, voice/wireless communication, object programming, data security and warehousing are in greatest demand across the board.
Hiring is on the rise for IT execs at midsize companies, or those with $100 to $499 million in revenue.
Specific increased demand in moderately sized companies was seen for Web analysts, managers and vice presidents of technical sales and change control supervisors.
Among the largest enterprises, those with over $500 million in revenue, the survey showed an increased demand for CSOs (Chief Security Officers), mangers of voice and data communications and production control specialists and analysts.
