Based on telephone interviews with 1,400 U.S. CIOs, the report, issued Tuesday, found that a net 3% increase in IT hiring activity, spread across companies of all sizes, is expected in the first quarter of 2010. Seven percent of the respondents expect additions to their staffs while 4% expect reductions, for a net 3% increase.

CIOs in the East North-Central Region (Chicago-centered) and the South Atlantic Region (Washington, D.C. to Florida) are planning the greatest hiring activity, according to the survey.
