Building a Workforce for the Information Economy


More importantly, the committee has tried in this report to provide a way of thinking about workforce issues in IT/HT that is largely indepen- dent of specific legislation. It seems safe to predict that the debate over the IT/HT workforce and immigration will not be definitively resolved by any one piece of legislation—such is the nature of controversial issues engaged by the political process. The committee thus tried to develop an intellectual framework and policy guidance for meeting the nation’s needs for information technology workers over the next decade. In the months since the report’s initial release in October 2000, declines in stock valuation for IT and IT-enabled companies, together with well- publicized bankruptcies and layoffs, have affirmed the wisdom of the committee’s longer-term horizon.
