On the recordOctober 9, 1998
Another recent article from Computer World, dated October 5, 1998, talked about the same subject: The year 2000 retention drama is playing out differently from what was expected. The widely anticipated programmer shortage never quite materialized, but another shortage has proved far more dangerous. "We'd always heard the industry speak of demand for programmers, but the more critical and unexpected demand is for project managers," says Irene Dec, vice president of information systems at the Prudential Insurance Company of America in Newark, NJ. The article pointed out, quite frankly, that the programmers are in fine shape. What they are really looking for are program managers. I understand the H-1B visa does not in any way address that problem at all.
