📈 Overview

IT support staffing is seeing slow but steady growth (~2%), driven by hybrid work demands — but automation (AI chatbots, self-service) is reshaping roles.

  • Ideal staffing ratios range roughly 1:50–1:100 users per tech, depending on complexity.

⚠️ Challenges

  • Balancing automation with sufficient human support.
  • Higher burnout risk from understaffed teams.

🎯 Takeaways

  • Job-seekers: Upskill in cloud, security, and automation tools; highlight remote-support expertise.
