I got layoff about a month ago. While looking for jobs, the average pay increased about 20‰. I think it is either a reflection of the inflation, or that the companies are recognizing the need of more qualified employees amid the "great recovery". Update: I was a Lead Software Eng.

I saw something similar. I wonder if its continuing.

You need software engineers to make software, we are the necessary commodity of the future economy, nee grads arent getting in person experience, bootcamps arent doing as great at teaching during the pandemic, the visa program was also reduced. Are we sreing a supply side squeeze and a demand side rush on devs?

2% over what period? Did you see enough jobs to draw such a conclusion (2%, or 20‰, is pretty insignificant)
