No there aren't and blacks qualified and trained for such work are rarer than hen's teeth.
I’ve been in the business for 25 years and know a lot of people in the field. There are plenty of people unemployed who are more than qualified, we don’t need the foreign labor. It’s bad out there, the only work you come across is short term contract work. I think the Almighty every day that I’m not one of them looking for a job
Nope.
The qualified workers are coming from other countries.
We do not have enough trained Americans to do the jobs.
Pound sand Jesse...
“There are Americans who can do that work...”
No there aren’t and blacks qualified and trained for such work are rarer than hen’s teeth.
I have to totally disagree. I know plenty of foreign tech workers who produce crap work. There are a lot of Americans who can do this work. We invented the entire industry from hardware to software and it ticks me off to hear people say that Americans can’t do it. I call bull$hit.
A dozen years ago I worked alongside a black Senior Unix administrator on Unix servers and workstations. Really qualified and intelligent. However, he was an immigrant from Nigeria. During cutbacks they laid him off, and I pleaded to management to rescind the layoff, as it was difficult to hire Unix experts as qualified as him in integrating hardware and systems. They kept him. As you say, difficult to find any home-grown blacks qualified for hi-tech work. I've known some, but the ratio is low compared to whites and asians.
Wow. You’re not in IT are you? There are Americans that can do the work, we are being pushed out by the h1bs.
I know there are plenty of unemployed Americans that can do this work; they were the ones doing it until foreigners were trafficker here to do it for them (for less). Even worse, when the indentured Asians have done their time and are naturalized, the firms don’t even want them anymore (can’t work them every weekend and such when they are emancipated). A new batch is imported instead.
In the meantime, the two programmers I know are unemployed or working as a TSA agent in Newark airport...
We had one of them where I used to work. She had an "engineering" degree from one of those "historically black" institutions. She had no ability and no interest in the job, all she wanted to do was to work on "black issues". As far as I know, she has a government job in DC right now, which suits her perfectly.
