Posted on December 2, 2012

One of the fastest growing IT sectors, cloud jobs in Connecticut, is growing, according to a recent survey.

Cloud jobs are getting big all across the nation, but especially in large cities.

A recent survey found that 97% of Americans regularly use cloud-based services for activities such as social networking, online shopping and banking.
