Total Geeks Build Businesses Faster

BusinessWeek's Karen E. Klein writes about a recent survey which found that employee issues and managing information technology were the top challenges faced by growth-oriented entrepreneurial companies.

I'm sure the survey uncovers a lot of what we all believe to be true. I'm just not sure that these two topics (employee issues and managing IT) aren't the top challenges faced by all kinds of companies.

Klein then posts excerpts from her interview with Harry J. Harczak Jr., CDW executive vice-president, about the findings HERE.

Tech Jobs in Florida

The OrlandoSentinal.com references a recent study today, stating that technology businesses in Metro Orlando and the Palm Bay/Melbourne area are among the state's leading generators of the high-paying jobs.

According to the survey, the Orlando metropolitan area has added about 2,500 technology jobs -- making it the state's third-largest technology hub with 42,639 jobs, according to a report released today.

I guess the magic in Orlando isn't only focused on Disney, eh?

Outsourcing on Steroids

Brilliant at Breakfast points to a new trend in outsourcing..."outsourcing FROM India."

It's absolutely unbelievable to me, that, jobs which were taken from U.S. workers and outsourced to India, are now being outsourced to other parts of the world (all in the name of cheaper/faster/better).

And, pray-tell, what "developing country" is of interest to those Indian companies wishing to outsource? Low-cost areas of the U.S., of course.

Geez. I've got deja-vu all over again.

Coolest Tech Jobs

PC World just posted an article called, "Coolest Tech Jobs: Driving the Mars Rover."

Tech Jobs ... Recession Proof?

Well, not exactly. However, U.S. IT employment is higher now than it has been this decade --3.58 million IT pros employed, based on second-quarter Bureau of Labor Statistics, compared with a previous high of 3.46 million in 2001 and a low of 3.29 million in 2004.

And, in a recently published InformationWeek article, it states that 62% of companies plan to increase their IT spending, 23% to keep it flat, and 15% to decrease. Bottomline: spending has edged up, but staffs haven't gotten fat. Impact: Better.

Check out this recent InformationWeek article by Chris Murphy to get the full scoop on how Tech Jobs are expected to fare, given that three-fourths of economists say there's a 30% chance or higher chance the U.S. economy will slip into recession.

Interesting article yesterday by special contributor to CNET.News.com, Tim Ferguson.
