The Olivier Internet job index recorded a drop of 9.5 percent in IT&T jobs advertised on the Net in the month of July.
Overall, the index reported a 8.2 percent decline in jobs advertised on the Internet in July.
Olivier Recruitment Group director Robert Olivier says that while economists are predicting that unemployment rates will rise to 7.5 percent in the next six months, -we can't see this happening".
-While our figures show an overall fall, there is a reasonably robust labour market. And although job ads have dropped in the technology economy it was suffering from a skill's shortage anyway."
-The big freeze in IT jobs is most to blame for the overall result," Olivier said.
