You have no one to blame but yourself, American Tech Companies, because you been supporting the party that has been instrumental in destroying the educational system in this country.
Another contributing factor could be that many stem educated people may not want to work for one of these woke companies and have to alter their entire belief system. I believe alphabet interviews on not only skills but social beliefs and attitudes. If you aren’t woke enough you don’t get hired and that is probably attributed to lack of skills.
Go to college, get a STEM degree, and get a job where you train the Indian H1B visa holders who will replace your department in six months.
Well gosh....I guess they will have to increase wages and implement training programs like American companies used to have.
If there is a shortage, the price goes up, this attracts more competitors to enter the market (in this case workers) and that eliminates the shortage. That’s how free markets work.
They want American kids to be dumb.
Then they go lobby for more h1b visas and hire foreigners.
Most HR managers from SV are Indian, and favor hiring foreigners.
The snartest youngsters avoid stem majors because they can see how many “American“ Corporations hire foreigners instead.
Why would anyone want to study engineering, the hardest of all disciplines, when the ruling class, democrat and Republican alike, are giving these jobs to aliens, or laying them off when they turn forty?
Better to party in college then get a job in politics like the Biden kids.
Meanwhile, the technical knowledge that won a world war, nuclear energy, and put a man on the moon is going to China and India. And the Biden’s and Bushes and that ilk are doing well.
If you are a white male why would you go to work for a US tech company? They will put you in a team, them promote and reward someone else on the team for your ideas.
Bkmk for my 17 yr old grand daughter. Thanks for posting.
Big Tech and Big Edu give ZERO fvks about Americans born and raised here to live their god given right to live the American dream. The left is the American hating nightmare.
Programming is one of those jobs that will be eliminated by AI. AI recently beat a human pilot 5 - 0 at topgun in a simulated F-18 combat faceoff. AI, is increasingly being untilized to write code which will enhance AI. Imagine, AI now has the ability to “correct” any issues it believes are negatively impacting it.
The entire reason the Chinese are vacuuming up all the data they can get their hands on, is to enhance their AI capabilities. The more data AI has, the more accurate, and the better it becomes. The country with the largest data sets, will have the best AI.
The country with the best AI will win the next war, which appears to already be underway, in an asymmetrical sense. It’s a shame there are so few who recognize the war has begun. Whoever harnesses AI, will only be able to do so, for a limited time, as it will ingest it’s masters last.
Perhaps if universities were focused on actually teaching STEM subjects instead of rubber stamping work visas for foreigners...
The real reason they like to hire Asians: American kids are graduating with worthless diplomas because the schools are all passing kids who should not pass rather than admit that our culture is breeding lazy little brats who don’t apply themselves.
BS. There are millions of under- or unemployed American STEM graduates. Big Tech needs to stop discriminating against older workers and Americans.
There is no skills-gap, other than missing the skill of being cheap, indentured labor.
