Tech Czar Unimpressed With US IT Workforce

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the faint-praise dept.

theodp writes, "'The IT work force is not skilled enough and almost never can be skilled enough,' said Robert Cresanti, Under Secretary of Commerce for Technology. So what does the Poli Sci grad and ex-General Counsel for the ITAA think is the answer? Open the gates to more foreign workers, urged Cresanti, including H-1B holders."

    The quality of products produced by US workers has also declined.

    What products, moron? Just about everything is produced offshore now. And don't lecture real Americans about quality decline - it is only the quality of the piss-poor, amoral Amerikan management which has declined, and abysmally so!

    There is no common sense pertaining to American business, you frigging imbecile. It is people like you that keep claiming the American economy is growing (Hint: subtract the explosion in corporate and personal debt over the previous 6 years which is counted as a growth number under the GDP - and the economy has been shrinking). America has reached the point where the majority of industries are now majority-foreign owned! Chew on that, Rover! Only neocons and religious freaks shop at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club - catch a clue, clueless wonder!
