National Leaders to promote KY model for Connected Nation States' IT jobs grew at 31 times the rate of growth in United States as a whole From Gov. Ernie Fletcher's communications office FRANKFORT, KY - Kentucky's growth rate for jobs in the Information Technology (IT) sector over the last two years tripled that of the national average, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Information Technology jobs encompass a variety of disciplines including: software publishers, Internet publishing and broadcasting, wired telecommunications, wireless communications, satellite communications, cable distribution and search portals and data processing. All are examples of jobs that rely largely on the availability of high-speed Internet, which has become increasingly accessible since the launch of Kentucky's Prescription for Innovation, the state's comprehensive plan to accelerate technology growth. The plan is facilitated by ConnectKentucky, a non-profit organization accelerating broadband Internet availability and technology literacy throughout the state.
