I've noticed quite a few mentions of how baby boomers leaving the work force will effect the economy, employment, etc. The idea is that the baby boomers (my parent's generation) are going to retire in the next 10 years; they're absence from the work force will create a huge staffing need. You, dear readers, know I'm pants first on any type of out-sourcing off-shoring links, and the positive ones of those often mention this idea.
"Bill Gates is pushing 50," says Joe Cortright, head of Impresa Inc., an economic consulting firm in Portland, Ore. "The next big companies that get started will probably not get started by baby boomers."
I feel like I've read lots of articles along the line of "Technology folks in companies must start caring about the business side of things." One article, for example, goes over financial vocabulary like "hurdle rate" and "material"; euphemism for shit-canning people aren't covered. Of course, one of my favorite pie-in-the-sky architectures, Business Process Modeling is all about this.
