Study Blows Labor Shortage Claim Out Of The Water

Well, see, that's the problem you lazy American. Can't believe you won't work for 40%.

LOL ya stupid me, don't I know there is a labor shortage going on? I should take my 40% and be glad it's not worse!

PS - I really really hate Keynesianism.

As a highly skilled tech worker I call BS. Everywhere I look the skilled tech labor market is in high glut. I'm doing twice the skill level work as I was doing in the late 90's early 2k's, and only making about 70% of what I was back then. If there were a 'labor shortage' in my sector, there would be increased demand, and therefore an increase in the cost of that labor.

I once offered to do a programming project for $25/hr. It was in a specialized area where I had experience, and I guarantee no import programmer had that expertise. They sent the project to India instead. Sticking with your "group", whatever that might be, is often the most important factor. A highly qualified American can offer lower rates and better service, but people doing the hiring or recruiting often have their own agenda.

The labor shortage is a false creation. And it's getting the the point where there is no price difference either. It's like turning the Titanic with a paddle. The mindset and propaganda will continue because is is now an engrained meme or paradigm.

I just got done talking to a pal of mine in HR for a fortune 500 company... Awhile back they made (required by law) to announce a "Restructuring" which would layoffs about 2500 American workers. It was communicated to media and to the government as, the restructuring was just eliminating some jobs and creating news jobs and the corporation would have about the same amount of employees at close of fiscal year.

Now for the truth, they laid off the U.S. programmers and engineers and transferred those positions/jobs in R&D and sustaining engineering, to their overseas Bangalore, India division/HQ on the cheap. Don't have to pay for ObamaCare or all the taxes/regulations/liabilities of the U.S.
