IT Workers Cushioned From US Economic Downturn
DontLickJesus writes "According to the AP, technology has been the least hardest hit by the U.S.'s recent economic downturn. Quote: '"Overall technology employment is up in America and the wages associated with it are up," said John McCarthy, a vice president with Forrester Research.' The article goes on to say that companies realize the worth of their [IT] staff. This paired along with a recent article regarding the value of data centers when selling a company leads one to believe that the business world, while historically not fond of IT workers, is showing its true opinion of the sector."
you people shouldnt have voted the party that let financial sector do anything they want, employing an unseen 'hands off' policy.
and now you pay. dont do it next time.

AAAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Ok first. CRA is being trotted out in a last ditch attempt by Republicans to salvage this fucking disaster of 8 years and blame this on Democrats. Even a few minutes of research would debunk that silly shit. Most of the subprime/ARM deals were made by banks NOT REGULATED by CRA. Then, in 2003 when Bush started positioning the Fed to back Fannie/Freddie IT GOT WORSE. These assholes made a run for the money thinking the feds had their back. Of course, they eventually did, and even Republicans in Congress are pissed.
Palin as a libertarian is the most hilarious piece of shit I have read in months. That would be why she fired the entire commission for trying to shut down a state run business that was losing money in Alaska right? Or maybe her dealings with Internet Tubes Stevens with all of that bridge to nowhere money. Seriously...trying to pass her off as a libertarian has got to be the funniest God damned thing I have heard about that goofy bitch since she made the scene.
Palin as president is the nightmare of anyone with an IQ over a gerbil. Unless of course you too ignore the facts as well as she does. Put creationism in the science class and take sex education out! Ugh... Rampant corruption from another religious fundamentalist is not what anyone needs.
The only change I can believe in is what I find in my couch cushions.
Obviously not, since the libertarian philosiphy is "laissez faire", and the Christian (and of course, all the other ancient superstitions) philosophy is "Believe this or rot in hell."
As a non-American it sounds like an improvement over touching of a ME war and draging the world into the smoking crater that used to be called the US economy.

The US economy will always be lagging somewhat until we have a final solution to the liberal problem.
