The skills gap in tech is virtually nonexistent — it's just that job seekers aren't building the right skills employers need

• A report from Enhancv found that the skills gap is but a sliver.
• However, the issue is that job seekers have too many skills that employers aren't looking for, and not enough skills that employers need.
• In tech, the most underqualified job seekers are blockchain developers and junior software developers, while the most overqualified are Java and .Net developers.

The skills gap, it turns out, is virtually non-existent.

In an analysis of 114,000 resumes for 102 of the most common jobs in the U.S., resume-building service Enhancv found that when you compare the skills that employers are looking for to the skills listed by job seekers, the mismatch is only negative 0.5%. In other words, there are 0.5% fewer resumes with the skills employers are seeking than there are open jobs.
