Dot ComBack, Or More Of The Same?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the ask-your-doctor dept.

adamsmith_uk writes "The FT features Wall Street's renewed love affair with dotcom stocks on Monday with the latest in a $6bn string of acquisitions that has helped set light to the once-defunct online commerce sector. Could this be the signs of the tech ComBack ?" But hold onto your hopes; ekarjala writes "According to this CNet article, a recent survey by theInformation Technology Association of America indicates that IT hiring in the US is expected to remain flat or decline slightly over the course of 2003. The main drivers are lack of demand for IT products/services and outsourcing IT functions offshore."

  1. You don't need to tell me... by fatwreckfan · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ...I've been looking for a summer job for a month and a half, and considering I almost have my Bachelor of Computer Science you'd think I could find something...hell no!

    My only prospect told me they didn't have the money to take anyone on for the summer.

    How the hell am I supposed to pay rent, let alone save enough for my outrageous tuition for next year if I have no options but flipping Big Macs??

    "Why?

    The thing is, 'sending jobs overseas' is seen as negative. Why is that? Why shpould they be saved for US citizens?"

    Umm...because we OWN this country and we, the people, having a govt for the people and by the people...etc etc...

    If we want OUR GOVT to do whatever it can to make sure EVERY SINGLE JOB available in America is goes to an American, then we can do that. That is one of the benefits of being a citizen of a democracy.
    And if we decide we want OUR govt to punish corporations that outsource jobs, then we can do so. You see, we OWN THIS COUNTRY. It belongs to AMerican citizens.
    People, it is time we drive this fact home to people like the above, and like our elected officials. I say we try for economic treason some politicians who have facilitated outsourcing. And if they are found guilty, hang 'em.
