  Monday
  October 15, 2001
  6:30pm - 9:30pm


The meeting will be held at:

  Davis, CA 95616


The topic will be:

  "Debunking the Myth of a Desperate Software Labor Shortage"
  presented by Dr. Norman Matloff, UC Davis

  Summary:  Due to an extensive public relations campaign orchestrated by
  an industry trade organization, the Information Technology Association
  of America (ITAA), a rash of newspaper articles have been appearing
  since early 1997, claiming desperate labor shortages in the
  information-technology field.  Frantic employers complain that they cannot
  fill many open positions for computer programmers.  However, software
  employers, large or small, across the nation, concede that they receive
  huge numbers of resumes but reject most of them without even an interview.
