I don't think there's that big of a tech labor shortage. I just think that labor markets are incredibly inefficient. A good indicator of that inefficiency is to compare the commission rates for a stock broker in the efficient US Stock market, to the 25% commission rates that recruiters charge for brokering people.

Larry didn't say that, Duffeld did... that was why it was humorous. It is amazing because the old story on the street was that ORCL was a clubhouse of young, outgoing, active men and women and that the women were especially good looking- which was related to Larry's relentless pursuit of something other than H1/B1 visa... <g> My point was that if PSFT really considers ORCL to be their number one target, it was a good HR move to put that on the air. His stammer almost seemed like he realized he was being filmed- midway through the statement.
