- mikeleeorg 13y agoWow, very interesting. Thanks for sharing. It's also interesting (and perhaps, sad) to me how there are stories in Silicon Valley where a top engineer or two are offered massive financial incentives to join another company. Those stories are usually cited as examples of a technical talent shortage in the Valley, but in reality, they are exceptions, not the rule.
- aestra 13y agoI really wish I could find the original paper I read on the subject for you. I just went looking for it again and I didn't find it. It was something I read randomly in my travels, it was really long and really well researched with lots of data. I wish i bookmarked it. I found some more interesting stuff though. http://www.issues.org/29.4/hal.html http://www.issues.org/29.4/hal.html this one has more of an "agenda" behind it http://www.vdare.com/articles/national-data-stem-shortage-shouters-suppress-salient-statistics http://www.vdare.com/articles/national-data-stem-shortage-sh...
