Plus this is hackernews. Does anyone here think software isn't hiring right now?
- HarryHirsch 8y agoMeanwhile, in what's supposedly the best labour market in 50 years salaries just aren't rising. Who cares about software, software doesn't employ enough people to make an impact in the economy.
- chrisco255 8y agoYes, they are: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/31/wages-and-salaries-jump-by-3point1percent-highest-level-in-a-decade.html https://www.cnbc.com/2018/10/31/wages-and-salaries-jump-by-3... 3.1 percent wage increase in Q3 2018. I see fast food jobs in my city for $13 an hour.
- HarryHirsch 8y agoIn my corner of the woods they advertised for an entry-level chemical technician, something that requires a BS in the subject, salary 30 kUSD. How you can pay on that for groceries, the rent, student loans and save for retirement is beyond me.
- arcanus 8y agoThere is a reason that job posting is open: no one is willing to accept that job
- HarryHirsch 8y agoThey'll find a taker, the job market in the sciences is lousy.
- ep103 8y agoI was speaking to the economy as a whole. Software seems to be quite a bit more labor constrained than the rest of the economy. Though honestly, once we start looking at just one industry, other effects become more prominent.
