The High-Tech scarcity of work - real or myth?

Back in 1990, the majority of Americans would have agreed that the United States needs more engineers and programmers. The country needed to maintain high-tech workers most modern technologies of the world and the common wisdom, requires that it is not enough of them to handle.

Over the years slowly changed from this popular sentiment. This was especially true after the Y2K threat covered up, after the dot-com bubble burst, and forced by the tragedy of 9 / 11, manyHigh-tech American companies for the implementation of redundancies. Engineers and programmers began rising unemployment, and resentment against foreigners, would take away the jobs hard working Americans. Whereas workers in high technology used to trumpet the need to recruit talented workers from abroad, many of them began to proclaim that the technicians enough to handle, and that the lack of work was only a myth.

Predictably, many of the United States --Employed full blame on foreigners, particularly those used for H-1B work visas. This visa program allows workers in special classes in general, science, technology and information technology in the United States on a temporary basis to work. Resentful protests Techie's intention to take any shortage of work, and the only company of foreigners, because these people would be willing to work longer hours for less pay.

So what's the real deal? If the Americanstechnical staff, which means that remain unemployed, this means that companies of the United States, have passed in favor of cheap labor? There are more than enough American engineers to ignore? If the high-tech labor shortage of real, or is it all just hype?

I think the answer lies somewhere in between. While there are many programmers and engineers who have difficulty finding a job. It 'also true that there are companies that have deliberately underpay foreign workers. Thismeans that the scarcity of work is only a fiction, but - nothing more than a ploy to justify the employment of foreigners at low wages? Not necessarily. It can be unemployed engineers out there - maybe even a lot of them - but that does not mean that a company no problem, the kind of person they need is to have. (You may also notice that the rate of unemployment among engineers put up with this since the immediate post-9/11 period - but for the sake of argument,Suppose that unemployment remains a serious problem.)

Some people seem to believe that a programmer is a programmer and an engineer is an engineer. See the choice of foreign companies to U.S. citizens and protest that these companies should certainly be looking for cheap labor. Mind you, I have no doubt that some companies operate in this way, we should not say that this is really their motivation. People are like snowflakes, after all, there are twoequal. Engineers are not interchangeable, and it would be foolish to conclude that a programmer can do the work of another, because both know how to generate the code.

I speak from personal experience. While employment was post-9/11 bust, I worked for a robotics company in Silicon Valley, where I was involved in the evaluation of potential candidates. Despite the large number of programmers available there, we found a very difficult time, whichhas the right skills. We were not looking for perfect, mind you, just someone who was close enough. The best candidates were born abroad, in general, and few if any of them were U.S. citizens. Also, the best candidate has the right technical skills are (or were close enough to what we needed), their curriculum vitae and interviews often revealed shortcomings in other areas, deaf and communication skills, for example.

Mind you, I'm not saying that the lack of American engineersin terms of skills and qualifications. That would be an oversimplification. Rather, I believe that we should avoid painting with big brushes. Different businesses have different needs, and some of them will have a hard time finding just the right people. This is particularly true for companies that the provision of high technological development and urge the need to recruit the most qualified people possible.

I've heard other engineers to do the same observation. As oneCommentator said: "A good programmer requires many different skills. These skills are developed in different ways: (1) a good basic education, (eg 2) experience and (3), analytically. I have met many people who make them linking ability. "When a company is not just looking for someone who can hammer the code - if they need someone with strong analytical and problem solving, for example, or who can develop strong software architecture - then the pool of possible candidates mayshrink dramatically.

This problem is particularly acute in highly interdisciplinary areas. Assuming that you can do to someone in the circuit, but also software development and experience of mechanical design. These people are valuable in areas such as robotics, automation and design units, and it is always difficult to find. When an American engineer is responsible for the jobs, they go like this, usually it is not because companies want cheap labor. Rather, it is because people withthe right combination of skills can be extremely difficult to find. That's why companies are willing to hire foreigners for these jobs, despite the costs associated with legal and headache.

So, in summary, is the lack of real work? In my opinion, yes and no. In fact, there are moments in which foreigners are recruited because they are willing to work less. However, we should not quickly conclude that companies that hire foreign nationals are here simply to save a dollar.I've seen too many situations where a company has had a hard time finding someone with the right skills, even if there is no shortage of candidates.
