Consider the source (Score 1)

CNN has been yellow dogging the economy since Bush got into office. According to I believe USA Today, and other sources, there was a 6% rise over the last quarter; and IBM is hiring 10,000 new programmers next year. Don't believe what you read in the tabloids, or CNN Money. I'm sure there will be less and less of us programmers, however this field is not eliminateable; only condensable. I'm not too worried. You also notice most of the article was about a textile business going..out of business.
