The only shortage in workers in my area is a shortage of workers who speak English as a first language.

Not reported? <<There has been a dramatic decline in IT jobs that is just not being reported>> The topic of balancing job training with job needs has been covered on this thread and all over the country. We all know about the sudden appearance of private IT schools and training classes that sprung up to train vast numbers of computer wizards, which the world said it needed not too long ago. And we know about the tech wreck after that. Let us know when the first U.S. plumber gets replaced by a guy in India, sitting in front of a computer monitor with a phone connection in his ear. And let me have his number, because I might need to call him for advice about a toilet! <<gg>>

>Someone being paid 60K in the US with benefits cannot compete against comeone making 12K-15K in India - no benefits, no environmental concerns, no Social Security, no labor laws.> tsigprofit, I understand your frustration with the IT market. But you are barking up the wrong tree. Experienced IT guys in India are making more money than doctors, senior government and military officers. Check your facts. The labor laws in India are much tougher. Environmental concerns - an IT person in India uses much lesser energy than a US programmer. When US IT market was doing good in the late 1990s, every IT guy was a genius who wanted 100K+. Market is what it is. -Arun
