From the "Notes from the Field" column in Infoworld:
"Break Out the Bubbly: According to the American Electronics Association, the United States is on track to lose only 234,000 high-tech jobs this year -- a lot better than the 540,000 shed in 2002. Adding to the fun, AT&T is dumping most of its IT staff and outsourcing the work to Hewlett-Packard, say my spies. Ousted geeks can try to hook up with HP, but they’d better keep their passports current: Rumor has those jobs going to HP’s operations in Bangalore. More proof that the phrase "jobless recovery" has joined "business ethics" and "Microsoft Trustworthy Computing" as modern oxymorons. "
