Bad News for Tech Jobs
I wish it were better.
First, of course, there weren’t many new tech jobs created this past month. According to this article on WiredNews, the Labor Department was expecting a lot more than they got. That’s never good news for tech people. I used to say that a tech geek could always find a job, if they just had the right skill set. Now, I say that a tech geek can find a job if they have retail experience.
On the upside, for Australians at least, is the fact that unions are getting involved in the off-shore debate. According to this article on AustalianIT, the Australian workers for Equant are protesting against off-shoring of their jobs. What does that all mean? I’m not sure, but you can bet that when a union gets involved, things will happen. Hmm, maybe it’s time for an IT union….
