[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you have 100+ qualified applicants for job after job on LinkedIn, surely the whole BS about there being an education crisis in this country is overblown. The supply/demand doesn't reflect that. [/quote] We definitely do not have a STEM shortage. We get hundreds of resumes for IT jobs. Wages are flat. Salaries are lower than they were 10 years ago. It is a buyers market for technical talent. The claims about STEM shortages come from employers, along with their lobbyists and trade associations. Mark and Bill and their merry band of billionaires. The tech industry can benefit if Americans -- and more importantly -- politicians believe that America is falling behind in producing highly skilled workers. While claiming that there is a STEM shortage, industry groups have lobbied Congress to allow more foreign IT workers to work in the U.S. [/quote]
