Last week I ran a small ad in a single newspaper for a field technician to fill one open position. Slightly below mid range salary for a starting level computer technician. Between e-mail and phone calls, I got more than two hundred responses in three days. Many of these people had 4 year degrees and most were seriously over-qualified.
I didn\'t keep count but I would say that 3/4 of these people had been unemployed for over 18 months. The really scary part is that companies are still laying off techies, not hiring.
