Tech Jobs Projected to Double by 2010

Posted by timothy on from the depends-who's-projecting dept.

netbsd_fan writes "Today's Chicago Tribune has an article that claims that the number of coding jobs will double by 2010, and computer support jobs aren't far behind. It's hard to believe since I just laid off our last two Win32 guys Friday. Could this be a turning point in the labor market?"

    I thought it was a massive black hole near Uranus.

    Sorry, it was a cheap shot for cheap laughs.
    If I wasn't so lasy I would link in http://www.goatse.cx but bah, that's probably redundant :)

    As for jobs - every day I go to bed praying that the Paki's and Indi's start a massive shooting war, destroying every bit of build-up Dell, IBM, all the fscking investments they and the other big wigs have been building over there the past half decade or so. Nuke em all, let God sort em out. Sorry, but that is about what it is going to take to bring jobs back here to the US. Well anything other than McJobs... I am surprised that this thread hasn't devolved into another one of those, and please don't use this as an invitation to become one.

    But I'm not bitter.

    Why are all the good points written by AC's? And if not, something like this would be a Troll. Cynisism != Troll. Mod parent up.
