  3. The Shortage • US Department of Labor projections suggest that ``computer/math scientist'' jobs, which include programming, will increase by 40%, from 2.5 million in 2002 to 3.5 million in 2012. (source: Dept. of Labor Statistics) • Colleges (important suppliers in this labor market) are not keeping up with demand (employer demand for graduates in Technology fields). A 2005 survey of freshmen showed that just 1.1% planned to major in computer science, down from 3.7% in 2000.(source: Business Week Online) • These jobs are not all going offshore--only 5% of the “Technology” jobs have gone offshore. Currently in the US, for every 9 jobs created here, one job goes offshore.(source: Business Week Online)
