You wrote: There is also a rumor there is a crying need for high tech workers...despite the fact there are many highly skilled capable workers that are unemployed. Really? What are your facts? Do you believe every rumor you hear? Here's what the NYT wrote about DEQ: Despite estimating the cost of the layoffs, neither company would confirm the elimination of 15,000 jobs. Even so, the executive, who requested anonymity, said, "It's a real solid number." The expected cuts, which would have been a devastating blow as recently as five years ago, aroused little concern in Massachusetts, where Digital has its headquarters. A high-tech boom in the state has lowered unemployment to 3.7 percent from levels of 10 percent seven years ago. "If ever there was a time to be looking for a job in Massachusetts, this is it," David Tibbetts, the state's director of economic development, said in an interview Wednesday. "Many high-tech companies are salivating for those workers." Didn't you write, The reason I'm not in New England any more is there are no jobs up there. I feel sorry for the poor DEC guys, They'll be in the same boat as the Wang people, driving taxis at Logan Airport. So, are we to conclude you dispute the NYT story?
