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

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.

High tech jobs are being created on a world wide basis, however many of
those jobs are in countries where salaries are low, and tech jobs are
still being lost in areas where salaries are high. VOIP(internet long distance
telephony) and other high tech advances are enabling tech jobs to migrate to
where the workforce is educated but salaries are still low. This is the dark
side of globalization. Like it or not, the world is still evolving.

 

Yeah, I have read the book, and it has a lot to say on why low is low
and how high is high, and the result of the process, today and in
future. Also, who are 'us' and who are 'them'. The most interesting
thing is that the roots of the job loss go back to the 1980s but
everyone was too busy to see what was going on. What we sow we reap.
