Dot ComBack, Or More Of The Same?
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."

"How much of the stuff you buy says Made In USA on it these days?"
Yeah... I really want cheap plastic toys made in the US of A. Isn't the point of economic growth to mean the USA (and other 'rich' countires) make the complex expensive stuff, our workers are freed to make these 'value added' things by outsourcing cheap things to other countries.
I really don't mind call centres sourced from other countries... imagine if all Americans had to stitch your clothes instead of all those Mexicans!!!
Let me do a more valuable job.
The unemployed in the US are the lazy, stupid (neither which have any sympathy for) or unlukcky (who have fallen on har times and should be helped back on their feet).
Don't complain your server admin job has been sourced overseas. Accept lower pay or do something that takes some thinking.
