Social networking, cloud computing, cybersecurity and the big push around open government are among the trends forcing public-sector IT teams to think differently about how things get done. Fortunately, salaries are competitive, and attitudes are upbeat.

Mandate for Change Leads to Competitive Salaries & Job Security
