Needs to include outsourced IT work. Lots of over 40 IT people unemployed (but no longer being tracked as unemployed.) Many companies proclaim a tech worker shortage... BS! There are countless over 40 techies that have been purged for offshore workers and millennials.

Including IT is a must! The H1B fiasco is killing this critical industry.

See my Post 14. I agree with you.

“Needs to include outsourced IT work.”

And “call centers” in “Elephant-Rider Land!”

I’ve worked in IT since the 90s. Laid off, hired, laid off, hired. Currently Work in one of the biggest IT companies in the world (think world cup) and most of my co workers are Indian or Filipina/Filapino. Mostly, they do not hire here in the States, job openings are filled overseas.

I can’t think of a way to stop that. The salary/benefit level disparity is too great.

Depressing.
