14 Million: Number of Cloud Computing Jobs By 2015

We had spotted multiple cloud computing stats before. We spotted this today.

"IDC, in a study sponsored by Microsoft, predicts that cloud computing will generate nearly 14 million jobs globally by 2015. This prediction assumes that companies moving to the cloud will generate more revenue and cost savings, which in turn will lead them to create jobs. The IDC study predicts that IT innovation enabled by the cloud could help increase business revenue by $1.1 trillion by 2015, concluding that this would lead to an uptick in jobs across many different fields."
