an interesting article from the U.S. census bureau, which
likely <br>
applies to Canada as well:<br>
<br>
"The U.S. Census Bureau reported today that 74 percent of
those who have <br>
a bachelor's degree in science, technology, engineering and
math — <br>
commonly referred to as STEM — are not employed in STEM
occupations."<br>

This is not surprising because according to <a

average <br>
Indian programmer makes just $8,300 cdn for the entire year.
IBM now <br>
has more employees in India than it does in America.<br>

Industry is making a concerted effort to perpetuate the skills
shortage <br>
myth so that they can beguile politicians and persuade them to
open the <br>
floodgates of immigration. This has the effect of saturating
the market <br>
and lowering wages.<br>
<br>
And they have succeeded:<br>
