[FRIAM] !RE: A million tech jobs unfilled

[Nick Thompson]

Hi, Russ, 

 

Good to hear from you again.  I got the factoid about tech jobs from a program called Boston Public Radio during an interview with the business columnist for the Boston Globe, Shirley DeYoung (sp?).  The context was worries over Trump’s anti-immigration policies.  Boston tech companies are threatening to move to Canada because they cannot hire locally.   

 

As my penance for being so damned gullible, I would try to hunt down a source for you, if you like, but absent any specific need,  I will continue to live in my blissful world of plausible fantasies. 

 

Nick

Nick,  Where did you get the statistic that there are a million unfilled tech jobs? A google search (https://goo.gl/UmejPd) leads to these two sites, which don't seem to have that number: https://goo.gl/U73bdN and https://goo.gl/d4s1El.
