job future looks bleak in the NEAR term

[zscoundrel]

It's a good story, but don't get all excited.  Infoworld is notorious 
for predicting shortages like this.  They completely missed the boat on 
the fact that once all the Y2K projects started to wind down there would 
be a glut of people looking for work.  In fact, they were still 
predicting an incredible number of surplus jobs for the 2001/2002/2003 
time frame.

Of course, you really can't blame 'em, my former employer blew that call 
too!  I even asked the VP what was going to happen in July 2001 when 
they didn't need as many bodies and I was told they would have lots of 
work for us all.  Of course she was right.  They waited until January 
2002 to hold the I/T blood bath!
