[Steve Mayfield]

According to a study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) each of the top seven fastest growing occupations projected for 2000 to 2010 falls within an IT or computer-related field.[^] Steve

I wonder how confident they can be that an equal or greater number of IT jobs won't be sent to India. ------------------------------------------ Well, let that be a lesson to you about going around throwing out bathwater without checking its contents first.

Or perhaps not ... The MSN article references a US govt study, and links to a table in that study. I haven't read the whole study, but the linked table clearly shows only ONE of the top 7 growth jobs being computer related. The article also claims "the study predicts a 100% growth in computer software engineering positions specialising in applications". The table has 45%.

It should be 7 of the top 30
