The new year brings reflections on the past year and predictions for the year we've just entered. If you're an IT worker, the news isn't good on either front. A report from the Hackett Group shows that 1.5 million corporate IT jobs were lost in the last decade. The two main culprits were automation and offshoring. The report also doesn't foresee IT contributing to new job creation in the foreseeable future. The only silver lining, if you can call it that, is the forecast that job losses will slow in the next three years compared to previous years. Thanks to offshore outsourcing, the jobless recovery is alive and well in IT.
