Abstract
ABSTRACT Some businesses gained from the COVID-19 pandemic, but the overall effect on demand for IT work is negative due to the recession. We may recover from it, once we can handle the medical problems, but some changes will probably stay. One of them is the shift from regular to temporary work in IT because businesses seek more flexibility. This should be accompanied by regulation that prohibits the worsening of work conditions of IT workers.
