外来工人(2)

关于我最近发表的关于美国IT工人明显短缺以及一些公司希望引进工人来弥补这一短缺的文章，有一些有趣的回应。首先，统计数据很少能说明一切。在某些情况下，相同的统计数据可以以这样一种方式来证明或反驳相同的立场。因此，仅仅将美国缺少20万开发商的决定建立在如此广泛的类别上，可能会产生误导。开发人员属于哪个学科——Cobol?这一点需要澄清。此外，这种“短缺”持续了多长时间，现在是否有正在接受培训的开发人员(在大学等)，可以在一年左右的时间内填补这种短缺?有足够的混乱和焦虑在IT领域外包和裁员,但说有一个“短缺”的工人,你需要进口200000名工人来填补这同时你在美国裁员——这是一个有点多。就像我之前说的，如果有短缺-在这里训练!培训美国工人来填补这些空白; train them so that they can get a better paying job and new skillsets; train them so that they can better provide for their families; train them so that their money remains here in US is invested here and stimulates our economy - enough money is heading overseas as it is. I don’t want to sound as if I am anti-immigrant or an isolationist – I lived overseas for 13 years and know that the world is too small for us to assume an isolationist stance. But you have to take care of your own family – the US family – for our country and economy to be vibrant and resilient.
