This sums why we are in this situation in the first place. There's a ton of short term thinking and complaining over the 2-4K a year in training costs a company may absorb. It's a very small part of the compensation plan, and investing in the workforce makes it better for all employers. Instead what happened is employers closed ranks, cut training, decreased college hires and internships. The short term thinking was why invest in workers when you can just use H1B contractors or offshore resources. It was a dumb move. The service providers know the pool of potential employees has shrunk and in return they have jacked up their rates.
