Abstract
This IDC Perspective discusses the phenomenon of the rising demand for a four-year college degree for IT jobs that previously did not require one — degree inflation — and how reversing that phenomenon may be part of the solution for the IT skills gap.
"In a 'degree deflated' world, IT organizations could expect to have an easier time locating and hiring candidates, a lower payroll, and a similar performance from their IT professionals, reducing the impact of the IT skills gap." — Cushing Anderson, program vice president, IT Education and Certification research
