"A variety of technology industry sectors added jobs in April, another sign of a possible turnaround in the employment scene for U.S. computer pros. The broader U.S. economy also added a better-than-expected 274,000 nonfarm payroll positions, and the unemployment rate remained 5.2 percent, according to the U.S. Labor Department's monthly jobs report.

Payroll jobs in computer and electronic products manufacturing rose by 2,600 in April to 1.33 million. The telecommunications field bulked up by 6,700 jobs, to 1.04 million. And tech services jobs also were created.
