Junior tech job crisis in Israel: opportunities shrink for new graduates. The average job search time for a junior has increased to 11 months compared with 14 weeks in the industry as a whole, while the number of new jobs opening up for first-time job seekers each month has crashed from an average of 300 to a single digit. The lack of opportunities provided by employers is part of a disturbing global trend, as shown by new data from the World Economic Forum (WEF). According to the WEF, although the tech industry should grow by 14% by 2030 -- a rate equivalent to 170 million new jobs -- the lion's share will be focused on advanced fields.
