Linux and open-source jobs are hotter than ever
Summary
The Linux Foundation and edX, the leading online course company, released the 2020 Open Source Jobs Report on October 26. As a recent Red Hat survey found, 86% of IT leaders said the most innovative companies are using open-source software, citing higher quality solutions, lower cost of ownership, improved security, and cloud-native capabilities as the top reasons for usage. "2020 has been a difficult year for all of us, but its encouraging to see that open source continues to provide abundant opportunities," said Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin. "The Linux Foundation and our members will continue to work to provide technological advancements that benefit everyone while striving to make open-source educational opportunities more accessible." The report is based on data from more than 175 hiring managers at corporations, small and medium businesses (SMBs), government organizations, and staffing agencies across the globe.
