Mediaboss Marketing

There's no such thing as a free lunch -- unless you're an IT pro, that is.

A recent survey from Dice.com revealed that in the hot IT career areas of cloud computnig, big data, software engineering and mobile one perk made the top three employment perks list every time: free lunch.

With just a 2.9 percent unemployment rate in the IT industry, companies are having to get creative and look beyond compensation to attract and retain top talent, says Dice.com president Shravan Goli.

"We're seeing a high degree of confidence among IT folks who are employed; 65 percent of those surveyed say they're confident they can find a new position in this market," Goli says.

That confidence combined with the ongoing talent shortage in the industry led to an overall increase in the number of IT professionals who voluntarily quit their jobs in December 2013, Goli says.

"There were about 500,000 'monthly quits' in December 2013 compared to 413,000 'quits' in the same month in 2012," Goli says.

"For so many of these tech pros, their skills are in high demand but low supply, so companies must get creative to attract and keep their top talent, and perks are one way they are looking beyond compensation to do so," he says.

The Florida Legislature is in session and the debate over warning shots will take center stage in the form of one bill

TALLAHASSEE Floridians could fire warning shots or display a weapon in self defense under a bill approved by the Florida Legislature on Thursday.

The measure, a substantial expansion of the states controversial stand your ground law, now goes to Gov. Rick Scott for his signature. He has not indicated as yet whether he will sign it.

The Senate voted 32-7 to approve it. The House approved the bill on March 20.

The measure says someone can threaten the use of force if that person feels his or her life, home or property were at risk of harm. It also allows people cleared by the courts because they acted in self-defense to petition for their records to be expunged.

In support of expungement, Sen. Charles Dean, R-Inverness, a former sheriff, said an innocent person is innocent. You shouldnt have to defend your name for the rest of your life.

Sen. Chris Smith, a Fort Lauderdale Democrat, spoke against the proposal.

I just dont think its responsible right now to encourage people to fire warning shots, he said. I think it sends the wrong message to Florida.

But Sen. Greg Evers, R-Baker, the bills Senate sponsor, said the measure is about self defense.

The bill stems from the conviction of Marissa Alexander, a Jacksonville woman sentenced to 20 years in prison for firing a warning shot during an incident of alleged domestic violence.
