While *some* jobs are being filled by holders of H1-B visas, I do not believe that is the primary cause of the tech. job situation today. Instead, I think it's a combination of greed and stupidity (which is what brought on the .COM crash), companies being more focused on making short-term money than on staying in business, companies being more focused on their stock price than their products, and unrealistic executive compensation practices. Also, or maybe because of all of these things, far too many companies these days make hiring decisions based more on salary than anything else. This is not good, regardless of who gets those low wages. > we will never get even close to what we had 2 years ago. I'm not sure we *should* get back to where we were two years ago! I'd rather see a slow, steady growth, based on SOUND BUSINESS PLANS -- which we sure as hell didn't have back then -- than a jump back to 1999/2000 standards.
