My apologies for this OT post. There is an article in Business 2.0 magazine, Sept issue, titled The Coming Job Boom that is very interesting.
The point of the article is that there will be a labor shortage by 2010 because the Baby Boomer generation will be retiring over the next decade. Obviously, there are critics of these reports but supposedly this is based on demographics, which is supposed to be more reliable. The articles quotes that companies like, Cigna, Intel, SAS, Sprint, Whirlpool, etc. are worried about this problem. Now for the tie into this list...there is a chart that depicts the 10 fastest growing occupations, DBAs are 7th. A 66% increased demand for DBAs by 2010. Software developers are 1st on the chart, with a 100% increase in demand by 2010. So for those of us hurting right now, hang in there. Aside from this article, has anyone else seen articles or reports like these?
