Why participate
The Association for Information Systems, Temple University, and University of South Florida Information Systems Job Index is the only systematic nationwide assessment of placement, demographics, jobs, acceptance, geographical patterns, and knowledge of information systems (IS), management information systems (MIS), and computer information systems (CIS) graduates from universities across the United States.
The 2026 IS Job Index going into its seventh edition, now includes data from more than 9,000 graduates across IS programs. To date, isjobindex.com has received over 100,000 unique views. The full report has been downloaded more than 25,000 times. We plan to publish the 2026 report in Fall 2026, continuing the two-year cycle.
Established 2013, the IS Job Index has become an important resource for chairs and faculty, current and prospective students, industry, and deans on IT job market entrants.
In 2024, about 11,000 postcards and print reports were distributed to deans, senior executives, and academics. All the major AIS conferences feature the report with banners and participating school logos.
