The Job Market in CS and ITThe Job Market in CS and IT
false perception that job opportunities are scarce
since dot.com collapse 91% increase in BS degrees from 1997-2002
BUT 60% decline in enrollment in last 4 years federal job forecasts indicate increasing demand fewer US graduates > more reliance on
employees from overseas
