Everyday computers are showing up in more workplaces all across America and the wage gap between employees with and without computer skills is expanding everyday. Even if your not an IT professional a solid background in computers and common office software can give you that extra edge you need to get that promotion or raise you have been looking for.

If you've been paying attention the last few years you'll notice that pressure and competition have been increasing in the IT job marketplace. A study by certification magazine has shown that even in these lean times people are still seeking certification, the question is why? The most likely answer is job security. More than half, 59% of the certified employees stated that they felt more secure in their current job because of their certifications. Over 69% felt that the certification played at least some role in the job security arena and only a tiny 16% stated that they had changed companies within six months or receiving their main certificate.

Job security is not the only reason given by the surveyed members. Sixty-five percent felt more confident in the workplace having earned their certification and 58% felt they got more respect from managers and coworkers. Half of those surveyed felt that they were better problem solvers and overall more productive on the job. A full thirty one percent had gotten a promotion within six months of receiving their certification and overall pay was increased by as much as 25%.
