Where do you think the problem lies in the tech sector with an alleged shortage of suitable workers coupled with the complaints of frustrated jobseekers?

Government. If tech got the kind of government support as some other industries the downturn would have had a much softer impact.
Industry. It’s a heartless meat grinder mentality that uses and discards people.
The Workforce. Too many tech workers complain as if society owes them something instead of focusing on retraining and networking.
The Media. Journalists often painted an unbalanced picture by giving all the press to public agencies and lobby groups.
No one’s innocent. All groups share some blame in this tale of misfortune.
