1) Seven LEAN Years: Trying to get a "good" job -- that is to say, a job that is above the national median income of approximately $14 per hour as of 1998 -- is getting harder and harder for a surprising new demographic in America. While the conventional wisdom and the media "talking heads" keep on droning endlessly about a supposed "high-tech labor shortage," the reality of the labor situation in the early twenty- first century is far different from a shortage. The truth about the economic desolation of the American middle class is being hidden by a barrage of press releases emanating from professional spin-doctors who have an agenda that is in opposition to aspirations of the mainstream American high-tech worker.
