Critical Shortage of IT Workers in Coming Years

Juzzam writes "The Herald Sun reports that IBM and university officals are worried about the increasing demand for IT professionals and the decreasing supply of computer science students. From the article: 'The slope shows an unbelievable decline in computer science majors,' Astrachan said. 'There are smart people no longer even signing up to take our introductory courses. We need to fix it, or there's not going to be a U.S. work force in computer sciences.'"

How can you moderate down a post which presents easy to understand numbers as to why unions don't help anything? BTW, if you say well why doesn't the union fix the minimum wages and the minimum number employed locally then all you will get is a business that will go out of business because it can no longer compete with the businesses who don't have unions. Either that or it will go out of business because investors will find a more lucrative avenue to invest in.
