IT jobs will drop in 09 - more IT job confusion?

It seems like there was another study done recently about IT jobs. http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9110329&intsrc=hm_list

There seems like a lot of conflicting reports about IT jobs but this study seems more oriented toward our support role in IT rather then including programmers or other IT development areas. From what I can tell, if they included programming then there would surely be growth, I always see programmer openings in job listings.

I'm actually planning on getting into programming because I feel most of the baby-boomers or current programmers are going to be retiring within 10 years so its all up to "generation y" to pick things up

but this is just purely speculation.

That did pop in my head, I'll probably pick that up once I get some more certs under my belt.
