The I.T Industry - Its looking up for graduates

Just been searhcing for jobs and their is quite a few jobs for £20k+ asking for junior positions in programming, web development etc. There was a job for a flash designer for £20k, this time last year that would have been more like £15k

Is the I.T industry finally picking up again after a decline?

I have this feeling that a lot of the money is going to be sucked up by consulting though. One of the Directors at PwC was being rather smug about it at a careers talk before Christmas.

Yep thats where the big money is made but a lot of consultants (like the firm I work for) also employ programmers and developers to actually produce the product.

Also this new EU discrinination law is forcing all government authorities sites to be fully accessible by the disabled otherwise they can get sued. This means a lot of sites been made to replace existing ones from scratch and the back ends often get replaced as well.
