Competitive America bump
Between other people doing the jobs Americans don't want to do and the jobs U.S. Executives don't want us to do, What's Left?
Free Trade at any cost strikes again.
I’ve seen no real shortage of jobs in my field(Computer Science) for when I graduate in late ‘08, in fact I already know of a couple companies that are completely unable to find competent programmers. I get emails pretty often from professors on campus forwarding career opportunites to CS students.
According to my professors that’ve been around for a while, ever since the .com bust at the turn of the century, all the people searching for cash stopped going for the computer science and related degrees, and so now there’s hardly anybody left to be hired. I believe my school has something like less than 40% of the number of CS majors that they had in 1999, while the school itself has nearly doubled in size.
