in reply to Recruiters from Beyond

Now maybe I am the crazy one here but are not those like 3 or 4 career skills that could stand on their own? I mean I realize that there have been tons of layoffs and there has been a big downturn but since when is a Unix system admin suppose to go in and start tweaking databases??
I stumbled across an article Why IT Pros Can't Get Jobs by Jeff Moad that gives some insight to this phenomena. To summarize his explanation, although the IT sector has laidoff 500K+ IT employees, approximately 550K+ jobs will go unfilled over the next 12 months because potential hires with the right skill sets can't be found. Jeff says that this is a smoke screen and that industry is keeping the positions open and in order to squeeze every last ounce of productivity from current employees.
