According to Anthony Sherick of Technojobs: "We have seen a constant and strong growth in electronics jobs advertised over the last six months across many diverse areas of electronics".
"Speaking to a number of key recruitment agencies, it remains that strong, experienced electronics candidates are in high demand".
"For some recruiters there may in fact be the potential problem of a skills gap between the market requirements for specialist jobs and existing skills available".
"This salary information obviously just gives an overview due to the very fragmented nature of the electronics jobs market; however the extremes of salary changes are very interesting and reinforce the demand for skilled and experienced electronics candidates".
