Besides all that, we have had the FOB (fresh off the boat) engineers being brought in to depress engineering wages in this region. I guess the employers thought there was a shortage of engineers who would work for the wages they wanted to pay.
I think there were a LOT more $120k+ jobs created in the RE industry and its affiliates than in the tech sector.
Anyone catch the article in the Union-Trib today where an economist is forecasting a job reduction (statewide) of as many as 100,000 workers in the construction industry? Think about the ripples that kind of reduction would create. I don’t know what’s going to happen with all that but I do know the tech sector ain’t going to offset those losses.
