What exactly is going on in the tech jobs market, and why ?

[Natalie Vermuelen]

In spite of some consolation from today's on-off hiring blips, a New York
Times headline in early September poses a disturbing question, "Is Weak Job
Growth Normal Now ?" For Lawrence Katz of Harvard University, the truth is
harsher still: "The dirty little secret is that no one is really looking at
the quality of new jobs created."
Bain & Company's Mark Gottfredson puts such processes in context: "There has
never been an economic discontinuity of this magnitude in the history of the
world."

If such issues concern you, a new book may provide some answers on what is
really happening.

Have read this book and recommend it strongly to both Americans as
well as Indians, Chinese and others involved in the outsourcing
debate. This book does not try to answer complex questions with
cliches, and I think if we want the debate to not run out of control
(especially on the encouragement of people like Lou Dobbs), go get a
copy.
