What does it take to get from here to there and back? Come on, let’s not joke, sugarcoat or oversimplify our situation. As new or current business model processes and technologies replace legacy ones, it is absolutely essential to question “creative destruction”.
Technology, without a doubt, is and continues to be the largest generator of employment in the country and quite possibly in the world. In fact, our country has been bleeding jobs all over the shores of other countries.
As many hierarchical “talking heads” made promises regarding the mobile industry and public and private Wi-Fi networks, partnerships were forged. These clandestine plans included Philadelphia, San Francisco, New York, and other smaller metropolitan areas. They were all coming up with a way to create millions upon thousands of jobs and also bridge the digital divide. This challenge was being addressed with the implementation of very heavy fundamentals.
“A rollout that big is tenuous,” says Rob Preston. Mr. Preston is the Vice President and Editor-in-Chief of Information Week’s technical magazine. He says metropolitan Wi-Fi service providers went bankrupt while equipment vendors sought higher ground. In addition, the government opportunists moved on to the next big project.
Even as the national unemployment rate remains a dismal nine percent, technology vendors and lawmakers are taking credit for creating jobs — millions of new jobs in the United States.
Many of you may be aware that other parts of the economy are losing jobs as fast as the tech industry is creating them. These job creation claims are exaggeration at best: a load of nonsense.
According to Preston, the cloud, mobile devices, apps, and big data claim to create millions of jobs in the US, and yet the national unemployment rate is 8.3 percent, and most likely , higher than that. Many people are not counted due to their inability to qualify for unemployment compensation benefits. These people are most likely not being counted or added to the roles they consistently cite, creating a miscount.
Jobs Creation says it makes sense for Microsoft to target cloud providers. Technology providers plan to double their workforce this year. They say mobile and cloud apps are creating millions of jobs in the US.
That disconcerting boast makes me wonder; If that’s the case, why is the national unemployment rate at record highs? The US unemployment numbers read between eight and ten percent. These figures are devastating for the American economic system.
IDC reported, in a recent statement, that the cloud computing movement would create more than thirteen million technology and related jobs worldwide by 2015.
Mr. Preston also noted in his report that Seattle-based Vorsite and its partners plan to double their workforce before the end of the year. However, IDC and Microsoft dispute the scale of private and public cloud economics. To free up funds for new business ventures, they would have to reduce customer IT and processing costs. This move will also add jobs. His analysis omitted the efficiencies achieved through infrastructure consolidation. This overlooked fact will kill IT jobs even if it creates new jobs elsewhere. This author certainly agrees with Rob Preston when he realized that putting a number on net earnings in this case is more guesswork than science. It is nonsense to determine that jobs that are relocated are expected to demonstrate a more productive ROI.
The idea of mergers always seems to result in job cuts as the parent company begins to eliminate redundant jobs. He promised to bring home 5,000 outsourced wireless call center jobs. A combination of abilities was attributed to part of the unemployment and the purge or the creation system. Unfortunately, five thousand more IT jobs have been created… While twelve point eight million people in the United States were unable to acquire paid employment. So many new jobs, and a point a million others have simply given up on job search efforts, and simply left.
Big Data CIOs are looking for business intelligence and analytics expertise. Another sector, according to a report last year by an American organization, could face a shortage of one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand people by 2018. These are the people with deep analytical skills along with more than a million managers and analysts who know how to use the big data analysis system – enabling effective decision making. With new jobs comes new training and the requirement to retrain existing ones.
500 MHz will be released as part of a deal with the FCC’s National Broadband Wireless Communications Agency: Broadcasters that auction wireless broadband communications control underused spectrum. The FCC chairman treats the proposed auctions as a government employment program.
“Few areas hold more promise for job creation than mobile technology,” is what he told an audience on a consumer electronics show.
Shell Gamers and mobile technology are the main attraction of job creation. In a desperate bid to get approval for a $39 billion deal to take over T-Mobile, AT&T had enough guts to argue how a merger would create thousands of new American jobs, Preston reported.
AT&T attached some of those jobs to the billions of dollars. They said they would spend for the expansion of their mobile broadband network.
The Analysis Group carried out a study for the apple. It is for indirect job creation numbers. The analysis applied to an employment multiplier; the Federal Bureau of Economic Analysis created this tool. The Congressional Budget Office estimated how many stimulus jobs were created in 2009. The fluctuating numbers ranged from 1.6 million to 8.4 million.
The Analysis Group did not include in its estimates of job creation bus drivers, delivery men, managers, butchers, bakers and candle makers, as well as others who may or may not owe their livelihood to the financial greatness of Apple and its employees. , in some way or manner.
Microsoft isn’t alone in the job numbers fiasco. Like Apple, the friends are under fire for their employment practices. At some of the factories, foreign suppliers published the results of a study they commissioned to claim responsibility and credit for creating and sustaining 500,000 U.S. jobs. Partner and supplier companies created 257,000 they; they claim to have created glass manufacturers and shipping companies. Third-party application development companies claimed forty-seven thousand new jobs, which were absorbed as direct jobs. Apple’s claim to fame is, of course, that these jobs wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for them.
South Mountain Economics used a multiplier to estimate the app economy’s employment figures relative to the rest of the US economy. It was noted that multipliers of 2.4 and 3.4 have been used to compare the employment impact of broadband spread across the country and the multipliers compared to other studies. A conservative figure of 1.5 served as a settlement. It would seem that every job in the app economy generates another 0.5 jobs in the rest of the US economy.
Technet, a lobbying group representing CEOs and other tech industry executives, released a separate study. They found that the so-called app economy (third-party lightweight app development for Amazon, Google, RIM (Research In Motion), Microsoft, Zynga, Facebook, and Apple along with a host of others) has created a total of roughly five : 100,000 direct and indirect US jobs since the introduction of the iPhone and its creation on the App Store.
How’s that for business-savvy analytical analysis of employment figures and assessment of job creation and destruction?
Sentiment Analysis is measuring the mood of Social Networks and is being incorporated by companies that monitor Community Driven Websites. New tactics and skill sets are definitely needed to gain a foothold in the new world of IT, communications, and analytics.
People talk, right? All it takes is a cloud…
