I may be wrong but from what I rad yesterday is that the USA over all last year was at 6% unemployment rate. But for just the IT sector itself was at a whopping over %134!!!!

Now you know why you cant find any IT work on the east coast......

If "%134" means "134%" there must be more unemployed IT people than there are IT people all together, which is not possible.

hehe... I hope they meant the rate increased by 134%. Otherwise, I can't see how that would work either.... unless its saying that more folks entered the industry but couldn't find jobs.... But, I don't know how you can enter an industry without ever being employed in it....
