IT worker confidence holds steady | CNET News.com

IT worker confidence holds steady. The Hudson Highland Group has published their monthly index for the Information Technology sector.

It looks like the job market for the IT industry has been improving in several ways including the job security that IT workers feel with their current positions, their personal finances, and any concerns IT workers may feel over outsourcing.

I personally think the trend to outsource to overseas locations is a trend which is past its prime. If there is to be any other outsourcing it will be within the US. An example is McDonald's outsourcing their drive through order part of their business from some locations within Oregon to a location in North Dakota.


The backlash that several firms felt for moving jobs outside of the US wasn't worth the money they saved in the short term. This also reminds me of a flash cartoon with Foamy.
