‘Ha Ha!’ Er, that is to say, ‘Oh Crap.’
Sure, there’s been a glut of technology workers, compared to demand, but here’s an article quoting the respected Gartner Group, showing that the supply is expected to fall by at least 15% over the next 5 years:
The research firm Gartner Inc. predicts that up to 15 percent of tech workers will drop out of the profession by 2010, not including those who retire or die. Most will leave because they can’t get jobs or can get more money or job satisfaction elsewhere.
15 percent! Ha ha! That is a serious drop in the supply of competitors. I mean, what could possibly top that?
Within the same period, worldwide demand for technology developers - a job category ranging from programmers [to] people who maintain everything from mainframes to employee laptops - is forecast to shrink by 30 percent.
Aw, crap.
