Who’s Hiring? Who’s Firing? Checking in on Tech Jobs (opens in new tab)

I don't know why the IEEE is always such a downer about employment, but this article is stretching it the furthest I've ever seen. VW layoffs, especially if they come in the form of factory reductions / closures, could hardly be counted as 'tech industry'. Then, the actual layoffs that they tabulated at bottom of article are all significantly less than predicted. I assume it's tied to their anti-H1B lobbying, but it's getting pathetic.

Just a nitpick but I think you meant "disclosure" instead of "disclaimer". Disclaimer would be to signal you are not sure the job figures are accurate for example. Disclaimer: English isn't my first language.

That sounds perfectly reasonable.

Rules of thumb: If a business has to operate 24/7 worldwide (and maybe even have office in multiple locations), it's gonna need over 100 employees.

There is no sane way around that. You don't want to be in a business with less than that many, trust me ;)
