/24-7PressRelease/ - January 30, 2008 - Whilst overall the Electronics market shows static pay, in fact certain Electronics job titles are showing remarkable growth in salaries advertised including IC Design and ASIC jobs.
The stats really confirm that lower level jobs are reducing in salary due to new technology and changes in work practices affecting the volume of vacancies.
Conversely, a strong focus will continue in higher skilled workers especially around Research and Development and processes to improve manufacturing productivity gains. The UK is a still one of the centres for global electronics companies in terms of development and manufacturing bases.
Therefore for those looking to upgrade skills or experience, the jobs likely to show high pay growth includes Design Engineers and Test Engineers.

Anthony Sherick, spokesperson for Technojobs said, "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 extreme's of salary changes is very interesting and reinforces the demand for skilled and experienced Electronics Candidates."
