Skills shortage? What a load of shit. There’s a massive oversupply of qualified tech workers in the US. There’s a shortage of tech workers willing to work for what employers want to pay. But that’s an entirely separate issue.

You don’t even need to look hard to see how many people are out of work. Simply post a job on LinkedIn and you’ll get nearly 1,000 applicants in a few weeks. It’s genuinely alarming how many people need work right now. I’m not sure how it ends, but there’s no way at it ends well.
