The Obvious Correlation
- Normalize both graphs by 1998 values
– Adjust for a one year lag time in declarations
Correlation = 0.61

What Happened in 2003?
By 2003, … sensational news stories appeared about a supposedly horrific loss of these [computer programming] jobs [due to offshoring].
- - The Washington Times, June 6, 2004
Correlation = 0.61 Correlation up to 2003 = 0.88

The Truth On Offshoring
- More IT jobs today in US than during boom
– Despite significant increase in offshoring over past 5 years
Source: Globalization and Offshoring of Software: A Report of the ACM Job Migration Task Force (citing the Bureau of Labor Statistics), 2006.
- Confusion at the Bureau of Labor Statistics
– Projected Job Growth from 2004 to 2014
- “Computer programmer”: below average
- “Computer scientists” & “software engineers”: above average
- Need to create awareness of “CS in the large”
– CS is increasingly fundamental to work many fields – AI is an important part of that!
