I hope you are joking, or else are extraordinarily clueless to think these companies would advertise on their websites for janitorial jobs.

Of course, this post won't get much discussion. The xenophobes won't touch anything that disrupts their worldview.

Thats good. After the bubble blew up in the internet business, jobs were lost. Now tech is coming back and thus the jobs will follow. You can't outsource everything... and im happy to see 25,000 people got tech jobs in the US - so much for the libs talking about burgerking jobs.

but there are only supposed to be low paying McJobs in the Bush economy. Kerry said so, Kennedy said so, Hillary said so, ........ said so.

Don't you just love it when the DEMOCs paint themselves into a corner and it gets shown all over?

Looks like this year will be easier to request a larger raise. `;^)

What's good for the country is bad for the Democratic Party.

Do the math. It's been 4-5 years since the tech bubble burst. Systems are getting old and need to be replaced.

We are doubling in size - and can't find or hire enough engineers - Linux clustering.

Microsoft has to hire this many people to keep up its long tradition of writing vulnerabilities and viral conduits into the source code.

And I thought I was a cynic.

InformationWeek, an IT trade slick, has been predicting this for over a year. Their position has consistently been that the outsourcing everyone gets upset about is concentrated in the lower income jobs, and the higher paying positions will go begging.

Looks like they knew what they were talking about, as opposed to flacks like Lou Dobbs, who has no known training in either economics, business or IT.

I wonder how many of these jobs will be taken by American's and how many will be taken by foreigners with the H-1B guest worker visa's.

Especially India.

What a pathetic post. The most successful person in US business history, the largest donor in US history, and you portray him as a Nazi. What a jerk.
