DOWNERS GROVE, Illinois, April 4 (TNSrpt) -- CompTIA posted the following news release:

Uncertainty and caution apparent in new tech employment data, CompTIA analysis finds
Employers shed tech workers in March while increasing job postings for new hiring
*
The unevenness that has characterized the technology employment market for several months continued in March, according to analysis by CompTIA, the leading global provider of vendor-neutral information technology (IT) training and certifications.
Tech industry employment decreased by estimated 15,000 jobs last month, CompTIA'sanalysis of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) #JobsReport data shows.[1] The largest share of staffing reductions were in the IT and custom software services and systems design occupation category, which lost 13,200 jobs, after adding 7,100 jobs in February.
Tech occupation employment, which includes technology professionals working in all industry sectors, decreased by 118,000 jobs last month.[2] The unemployment rate for tech occupations edged up to 3.9%.
At the same time employers reduced tech staffing, they increased the volume of tech occupation job postings for the third consecutive month to begin 2026. There were more than 537,000 job postings for tech positions in March, including 254,000 new postings added during the month. Last month's job postings total was 9.7% more than February 2026 and 8.9% higher than the March 2025 figure.[3]
Several industry sectors recorded double-digit percentage increases in tech job postings last month, including real estate (+ 56.2%), retail trade (+ 27.1%), finance and insurance (+ 19%) and manufacturing (+ 15.7%).
Tech job postings were widely dispersed geographically. New York City, Washington and Dallas had the highest volumes, while San Francisco, Chicago and Washington saw the biggest increases in postings from February to March.
As AI skills continue to be a focus area across a wide range of job roles, employers are searching for a mix of technology positions to support AI adoption and ongoing digital transformation.
"The tech labor market is showing signs of stabilizing, as companies begin moving away from the more conservative approaches of the past year and consider future investments in talent that supports strategic digital initiatives," said Seth Robinson, vice president, industry research, CompTIA.
CompTIA's analysis reveals that 17% of March job postings targeted workers with eight years or more experience; 27% specified workers with four to seven years' experience; and 20%, zero to three years.
[1] Labor market data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and employer job postings from Lightcast may be subject to backward revisions.
[2] Monthly occupation level data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics tends to experience higher levels of variance and volatility.
[3] Active job postings include new postings added by employers in the latest month and open postings carried over from previous months.

Legal Department Cautions Members About Scams Targeting Physicians
By Jonathan Kirkland
Two scams targeting physicians were reported to the TMA legal department in the last week. The Tennessee Department of Health has stated that these scams are, unfortunately, a widespread issue in the state. The TMA legal department urges physicians and medical practices to exercise care when contacted about investigations by licensing boards and law enforcement, especially when personal identifyingand financial information is requested.
One scam involved fake correspondence from the Georgia Composite Medical Board impersonating the Board phishing for payment of a surety bond claimed to be required to restore a temporarily suspended medical license. Another scam involved a fake DEA/FBI investigation of a physician alleging involvement in an out-of-state drug dealer ring. The scammers attempted to get the physician to transfer money.
If you believe you are the victim of a scam, you can verify it by contacting the agency being impersonated, but do not attempt to verify the scam using any phone numbers or information on the suspicious correspondence. Using AI, many scams can look convincing and even official. Train staff to be aware of possible scam attempts. Report scams to the Tennessee Attorney General's Division of Consumer Affairs or report DEA extortion attempts through their online reporting form (https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/tips-online.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com).

New Course Prepares PALTC Clinicians for Real-World Practice
Post-acute and long-term care is a specific area of practice, which means clinicians need a unique set of skills to excel. That's why PALTmed created its new PALTessentials course: Navigating Clinical Practice. Featuring 16 interactive on-demand modules, along with valuable resources and tools, the self-paced course blends practical guidance with real-world application to prepare clinicians to deliver effective, patient-centeredcare in dynamic and challenging environments.
Julie Gammack, MD, FACP, CMD, chair of the workgroup responsible for developing the course, says the narrated course is modeled after the longer, now-retired Competencies Curriculum for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine program. "PALTessentials offers a more interactive learning experience, including pre- and post-course assessments, knowledge-check questions, links to reference materials, and case examples that highlight the key learning objectives," she explains. "The curriculum is designed for all primary care and specialty clinicians who deliver care to residents in the PALTC continuum, and reflects PALTmed's mission to support clinicians with education that is scientifically grounded, learner-focused, and genuinely useful in real-world practice."
The course modules are divided into four domains:
1. Systems of Care
2. Medical Knowledge and Care Delivery
3. Ethics, Communication, and Professionalism
4. Pursuit of Excellence
"The modules are intentionally designed to stand on their own, allowing learners to start with the topics most relevant to their practice," Dr. Gammack notes. "But for those who prefer a 'start to finish' structure, I recommend beginning with Domain 1." She adds that the first module of Domain 1 is an introduction that will help participants develop a plan for navigating the course.
While the course is designed for any clinician who wants to deliver effective, evidence-based, and clinically compliant care in the PALTC setting, Dr. Gammack believes it's foundational for those who are interested in exploring or learning more about practice in PALTC. She explains, "Students, residents, and geriatric fellows in training will find the course particularly beneficial in understanding and appreciating the career potential of PALTC practice. Clinicians new to PALTC will discover a different care-delivery framework that is not often emphasized in traditional medical training."
Dr. Gammack notes that what makes this course truly unique is that it "recognizes the reality of PALTC practice. It doesn't assume unlimited time, resources, or staffing. Instead, it offers approaches that are realistic, efficient, resident-centered, and supportive."
Learn more and register for the course (https://learn.paltmed.org/products/paltessentials-navigating-clinical-practice?_gl=1*1q95y45*_ga*OTkwMTcwNzc0LjE3NzE0MTc0OTI.*_ga_9YJ8CNKM7X*czE3NzUyOTk3ODYkbzckZzEkdDE3NzUyOTk3OTQkajUyJGwwJGgw), which is $299 for members and $499 for non-members. Group pricing is available.

Ag Groups Call for End to Fertilizer Duties
Author: Bryan Goodman
Over 50 state ag groups and eight national organizations sent a letter to the International Trade Commission this week urging the agency to revoke the countervailing duty orders on imports of phosphate fertilizer from Morrocco.
The letter - signed by the National Corn Growers Association, American Soybean Association, National Association of Wheat Growers, National Cotton Council, National Sorghum Producers, Society ofAmerican Florists, USA Rice, US Rice Producers Association - said that continuing the duties will further worsen the dire economic conditions faced by American farmers.
"Maintaining the phosphate fertilizer [countervailing duties] will allow a small set of powerful corporations to continue to limit supply options for farmers," the letter said. "This has already prevented farmers from accessing the tools that meet their crop production needs and resulted in lower yields and negative economic impacts."
The duties stem from a decision in 2020 by ITC to impose duties on phosphate fertilizers imported from Morocco and Russia. The decision came after the U.S.-based Mosaic Company petitioned the agency to do so.
Mosaic claimed at the time that unfairly subsidized foreign companies were flooding the U.S. market with fertilizers and selling the products at extremely low prices. The petition was supported by another U.S. company, J.R. Simplot.
The duties are now being examined under a sunset review process that will determine if they should continue.
The duties have had major effects on the phosphate fertilizer market. At least one Moroccan company halted shipments of phosphate fertilizers into the U.S., which led to price hikes and tight supply conditions, saddling farmers with a hardship that has only become more dire in recent weeks with the conflict in the Middle East. Phosphate (DAP) prices peaked in 2022 during the Russia-Ukraine crisis, but have only eased moderately since, with the corn/phosphate price ratio (the amount of bushels needed to buy a ton of fertilizer) reaching record highs in 2025.
The letter said that these fertilizer companies have gained at the expense of America's farmer.
"These companies--one of which the CEOs receives $9.8 million in annual compensation--do not need import protection to keep them healthy," the letter said. "Farmers on the other hand do need help. The United States simply does not have sufficient domestic phosphate resources to meet agricultural demand on its own."
A recent letter from farmers to Mosaic and Simplot calling on them to rescind their petition went unanswered.
The sunset review will progress over the next year, culminating in a decision by the ITC to determine if the duties should continue. The final decision is expected in the spring of 2027.

The Honorable Amy A. Karpel
Chair
U.S. International Trade Commission
500 E Street SW
Washington, DC 20436
RE: Phosphate Fertilizers from Morocco and Russia, Inv. 701-650-651 (Review)
Dear Chair Karpel:
On behalf of American farmers, growers and producers, we respectfully urge the International Trade Commission ("ITC") to revoke the countervailing duty orders (CVDs) on imports of phosphate fertilizer. Allowing the CVDs to continue will further worsen the dire economic conditions faced by American farmers.
Phosphate fertilizer is an essential input for modern crop production, used predominately for growing corn, soybeans, cotton and other agricultural commodities. U.S. growers rely on phosphate fertilizer to maintain yields, steward soil health, and remain competitive in domestic and global markets. Unlike discretionary inputs, phosphate fertilizer is fundamental to producing the food and fiber that sustain American families and rural economies.
Maintaining the phosphate fertilizer CVDs will allow a small set of powerful corporations to continue to limit supply options for farmers. This has already prevented farmers from accessing the tools that meet their crop production needs and resulted in lower yields and negative economic impacts. As Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Stephen Vaden has noted, two of the largest U.S. phosphate producers collude to "constrain the supply of so many of the fertilizers that our farmers depend on that they were able to get pricing power."1
Respectfully, these companies--one of which's CEOs receives $9.8 million in annual compensation--do not need import protection to keep them healthy. Farmers on the other hand do need help. The United States simply does not have sufficient domestic phosphate resources to meet agricultural demand on its own. Farmers source domestically when possible, but must rely on imports to fill the gaps in supply. Access to reliable alternative sources of phosphate fertilizer supply is therefore critical to maintaining a competitive and resilient fertilizer market. When import duties substantially restrict that access, supply tightens, and prices rise. These outcomes unilaterally harm farmers, consumers, and the broader agricultural economy.
The current phosphate fertilizer countervailing duties (CVDs) are facilitating that constraint of supply. These CVDs have placed additional strain on farmers already navigating volatile commodity markets, weather uncertainty, and rising expenses across nearly every category of farm operations, and have impacted the affordability crisis that is so critical today. For many growers, fertilizer represented 40 percent of operating costs in 2025, 2 and price increases in this critical input directly affect planting decisions, long-term viability, and the livelihoods of farm families. This is why the third domestic producer, Nutrien, recently requested that the CVD be terminated, stating: "Based on evolving global phosphate supply and demand dynamics since 2021, we believe re-moving countervailing duties on phosphate imports would be a constructive step that supports U.S. farmer economics, balanced fertilizer application and agricultural productivity."3
We respectfully call for the revocation of the existing phosphate fertilizer CVDs in the upcoming sunset review. Eliminating these duties would help restore balance to fertilizer markets by providing immediate relief to growers facing elevated input costs and a lack of availability. We appreciate the ITC's role in ensuring fair and effective trade enforcement and respectfully ask that the ITC give adequate consideration to the real-world impacts these duties are having across the agricultural sector.
Thank you for your time and attention to this important matter. We stand ready to provide additional information or engage further as the ITC considers this issue.

AISC Applauds Strengthened Section 232 Tariffs Supporting Domestic Industry
On behalf of its more than 1,000 members that fabricate structural and bridge steel, the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) commends the Administration's recent updates to the Section 232 Tariffs, reinforcing a commitment to fair trade and a strong domestic steel industry.
These updates, including the implementation of a 25% tariff on the full value of imported structural steel products fabricatedabroad (10% if using American-made steel), represent another important step toward ensuring a level playing field for American fabricators and manufacturers. By addressing ongoing challenges posed by unfairly traded imports, the policy helps sustain domestic production, protect skilled jobs, and strengthen the U.S. supply chain.
"Domestic structural steel fabricators play a critical role in building and maintaining America's infrastructure," said AISC President Charles J. Carter, SE, PE, PhD. "Policies like Section 232 help maintain a fair market, allowing our industry to continue delivering high-quality, reliable solutions while supporting local economies and a highly skilled workforce."
For fabricators across the country, consistent and enforceable trade policies are essential. The strengthened tariffs will help curb market distortions, close circumvention loopholes, encourage investment in U.S. facilities, and reinforce the value of domestically fabricated structural steel in both public and private construction projects.
AISC remains committed to working with policymakers to support initiatives that prioritize American manufacturing, promote fair competition, and advance the long-term resilience of the structural steel industry.
