>Layoffs of tech job workers reportedly increase dramatically with no new hiring occuring, says survey. SAS (huge, private software firm) CEO says: "I don't know how that trend can stop until the IT programming salaries are globalized and there's a global salary so that it won't make any difference where you are. That basically means that the U.S. prices for software talent will have to slowly go down over the next ten years. India's will have to slowly go up as more people move there or to China, and it creates wage pressure." It's all about wages, he says. (Story idea from Dr. Norm Matloff's newsletter). A recent survey confirms that IT pay checks are getting smaller now. Meanwhile, Intel and HP CEOs say we need to train more Americans for non-existent jobs. Intel CEO blames - surprise! - 8th grade algebra classes. Again. Oh well. Oh - I checked. HP, with 140,000 employees has just 13 Information Technology job openings in the U.S. and - surprise - 16 openings at HP India. The company has 222 job openings in all categories in India, and just 229 in all categories in the U.S. Facts speak louder than words, Carly Fiorina! Intel has 19 IT openings in the U.S., 7 in India and 4 in China. Their "employee picture" on their jobs page features 3 Indian nationals. Recent CO2 rise due to statistical anomoly. See linked story for details or also read this one. The "CO2 rose 2 ppm twice in two years claim" is not as sensational as the headlines suggest. comments < 10:57:15 AM
