Germany wants its IT workers back, the ones who have moved to "Amerika." How will Deutschland do it? They'll launch an ad blitz. This week, a Stuttgart-based economic development firm is paying for a plane to fly a banner that says "Back to Germany" over Southern California beaches. Sounds more like an order than an invitation doesn't it? Later this week, five planes will skywrite that same message over New York City. Later this year, a print media ad blitz will begin. Germany has been losing about 120,000 IT workers every year; about 15,000 move to the United States.
