- Skilled tech workers are in high demand, even as the industry undergoes major shifts.
- Software development, data analytics, and engineering are among the most valued skills in the eyes of tech leaders.

Over 250 tech industry leaders weighed in on the evolving tech workforce for the Consumer Technology Association’s Future of Work Study published earlier this week.
