Is There a Shortage of U.S. Tech Workers?

,----[ Quote ]
| Speaking before a Senate committee earlier this month, Gates said
| that America is facing a critical shortage of tech workers. He
| recommended boosting the number of H-1B visas to allow more foreign
| tech workers into the U.S.
| 
| [...]
| 
| "I think that has created an environment where the population of advanced 
| skill workers has shrunk a lot in the U.S., because we just haven't created 
| a fair system," he says. "Where if you go to other countries, you'll find 
| national policy around broadband deployment, which creates a much more even 
| playing field for people of all income levels to learn by and work by."
| 
| "We did it to ourselves," he says.
