Do you want to catch Bill Gates, Dan Siciliano and other H1-B Proponents in a lie?
Dang!
That many of you?
Ok, lets take a look at the facts.
I’ve had a hard time charting the job growth history using the BLS/OES data and I just found a source on the BEA site that you can view by clicking here
Of course, the charting doesn’t work as good as the GDP portion does, but luckily they have the ability to export a csv file, so I have taken the liberty of doing that and converting it to a spreadsheet so you can do your own what if’s
As you may have read on here in the past, Dan Siciliano issued several statements about how we need more H1-B’s over here because we don’t have enough people. in the software industry.
An you may have noticed what Microsoft is doing to Americans in America.
If not, here is an article you will find interesting
Of course CNBC will have you believing that Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are the saviors of American business if you’ve been watching their capitalism series lately (I turned it off and switched to Fox Business so I haven’t watched it)
Now Warren Buffet might be one so I’m going to leave him alone, but Bill Gates has done more to destroy the sovereignty of our country then anybody because the media fawn all over him like the idiots that made this intel video rather then exposing all of the software people that have been put out of work because of people like Gates and the Intel CEO and others that are constantly harping that they need more software people and even our colleges have jumped on the bandwagon saying that we don’t have enough software people.
So tell me, why are so many software people like myself and others out of work?
And why does this chart by the BEA show a declining amount of software jobs in America?

Could it be that they are lying so that they can further destroy the budgets of our towns, counties, states and federal governments by giving them more preferential tax treatment like this so that they can afford Mercedes on the same salary while we can only afford used pintos?

Which BLS data do you want?
Maybe I can tell you the series IDs so you can fetch it that way.
If not, I’ll muck about to see if I can find what you want.
If all else fails, the bottom of each BLS page has a link that will let you send a message to ask whether particular data are available, and they will either tell you it’s not or give you the data and/or how to get to it, yourself.
actually the bls data and format is great, but you can’t chart it for each job type from say 57 to 09 and I need to be able to do that to show people at a glance what is happening in ANY job category (whether the trend is up or down)
I started to write a program a long time ago, but not being able to meet the essential bills just doesn’t leave my mind clear enough to focus on that.
Don’t know if you’ve ever looked at the GDP data at the bureau of economic analysis, but if you have, click on the “locking stubs” box and then you can pick and choose and graph.
That is what I need to show what is really happening and I’m even willing to devote mysql space here if a programmer has the time and inclination
Basically I want to be able to prepare a chart on demand similar to the one above for any job category, or possibly even multiple ones if we look at the different subgroups.
