The Seattle Times: Pace of growth not likely to last

The Seattle Times: Pace of growth not likely to last

Growth is good and this is a good sign. However what if all this growth only results in small job gains. Will that continue to excacerbate the rift that continues to grow between rich and poor. Well I am doing my part to help out! I just got off the internet and bought only goods produced in the United States. I figure after driving from Washington to New York and seeing first hand the number of factories out of business they could use the help. Hope the economy keeps moving ahead and that it starts creating jobs rather than just lowering the decrease.

Ahh what passes for good news these days!

Ahh what passes for positive news these days in the tech sector and in the regular private sector is that the rate of job loss is slowing. In a way I guess that is better than the alternative greater rates of job loss. Nonetheless this is still negative. An 8% 2002 and 4% this last year is not going to encourage people to pick up tech as a major in college, nor is it going to [rovide and relief for the estimated 300,000 former techies who lost positions in those years. For sure this s going to continue the downward pressure on wages in the sector.

Looks like we will have to wait a few more years for any true improvement in the technology job picture. By that I only mean actual job creation rather than job loss.

Interesting story on New Yorks new initiative. I just got back from a marathon session of math at PACE University in New York City. It was from 9-3 with two 15 minute breaks. I will be having another marathon session this Tuesday. In addition I will be in class on Monday and Wednesday night. The big day for the CST is this Saturday. Must eat and sleep now.

MINDS MADE UP?
38% of registered voters definitely plan to vote to re-elect President Bush in 2004 and 44% definitely plan to vote against him. The remaining 18% are not committed either way. This is bad news for Bush and great news for the country. Even Alan Greenspan, not exactly a beacon of liberalism frowns on the long term deficits this President has created in light of the upcoming baby boomer retirement. Please see todays reflections on this in The Wall Street Journal.
