New research is indicating that tech professionals who specialize in m-commerce products for smartphones and tablets are not only increasing in numbers, but they are also paying a great deal more than their counterparts who are performing the same tasks but for the e-commerce marketplace.

Data from research by ReThink Recruitment, a business & technology staffing company, has shown that the average salary for an IT employee who creates commerce tools for mobile devices is 20 percent more than that of workers who work in the e-commerce sector.

The survey’s results show that junior designers who create tools for smartphones and tablets earn about £350 every day, whereas those working to create tools for a desktop or laptop device make about £280 daily. Similarly, m-commerce program managers earn an average of £600 per day, which is a figure that is approximately £100 greater than what their e-commerce equivalents are earning.

At the same time, WANTED Analytics data is saying that the number of these m-commerce jobs is on the rise. Within the last three months, there have been 4,400 new job ads placed by employers and staffing firms which are asking for workers with mobile marketing skills. This is a dramatic spike in the volume for this type of jobs when compared with the figures from two years ago.

In fact, since the same three year span last year, the number of mobile category jobs has increased by 16 percent. When compared to 2009 during the same 90 day period, the volume has increased by 120 percent. About 10 percent of all marketing professional job ads include a request for mobile skills.
