there are a lot of IT workers "resting" in the UK at the moment. The skills shortage was really 3 to 4 years ago.
Where the labour market is short now is in plumbers, electricians etc. The rates for skilled trademen have gone through the roof.

>>I watched a segment on the news about outsourcing and hiring employees from other countries here in the U.S. etc. Some white collar workers (programmers to be exact) had to train the H1B visas from other countries that were brought in to learn their job and assume it. Following the training, the U.S. citizens were laid off. It gets scarier everyday. One guy said it best (as close as I can remember): If you sit at a desk, eventually either someone from another country will be sitting there or the desk will be in another country...
