Nancy, what industry are you in, and what are the statistics? Do you see outsourcing or people leaving San Diego?

The May 2006 Labor Market Info report shows PBS decreasing. This is the category that the UCLA Anderson Forecast saw as the ray of hope for San Diego, because of some prior gains in the year. Now this category is decreasing. Hmmmm, what is the ray of hope for San Diego? And are the job openings mentioned above in S/W actual openings, or just some classifieds placed so they can keep looking for some future opening? What is the actual change in software engineer positions over the last few months? Do you think they are having a hard time finding people to move here, as we discussed with Qualcomm?

Why is the person above not getting hired for one of these 693 job openings – low pay, not qualified enough? Can all of you elaborate?
