A study by CV Screen found that the average wage for those in IT has risen in the last year, as demand within the industry increased.
The company gathered the information through a study of 50 IT roles and 7,000 advertised IT positions within the UK and found that the average salary is now £38,946.
CV Screen's Matthew Iveson said that the increase is down the recovery of the economy and jobs market, which has allowed for an increase in IT department budgets.
'Rather than cutting back on staff, we are now seeing employers looking to grow the size of their workforce and are having to offer more competitive salaries to secure the best talent,' he explained.
The research follows a similar study from Hays which predicted that IT employers would have to increase salaries and benefits if they wanted to encourage new workers in the face of rising competition.
