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.

Connecticut: In Schools, Bad Behavior Is Shown the Door
Connecticut: In Schools, Bad Behavior Is Shown the Door
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.
