Destruction and creation: a hyperbole of new jobs

What does it take to get from here to there and back? Come on, let’s not joke, sugarcoat or simplify our situation. As current or new technologies and business model processes replace legacy ones, it is absolutely essential to question “creative destruction.”

Technology, without a doubt, is and continues to be the largest generator of employment in the country and quite possibly in the world. In fact, our country has been bleeding jobs on the shores of other countries.

As many hierarchical “talking heads” made promises regarding the mobile industry and public-private Wi-Fi networks, partnerships were being forged. These clandestine plans included Philadelphia, San Francisco, New York, and other smaller metropolitan areas. They were all devising a way to create hundreds of thousands of jobs and close the digital divide as well. This challenge was being addressed with the implementation of heavily weighted fundamentals.

“Such a large deployment is flimsy,” says Rob Preston. Mr. Preston is the vice president and editor-in-chief of Information Week’s technical magazine. It says metropolitan Wi-Fi service providers went bankrupt, while equipment providers sought higher ground. Also, the government opportunists moved on to the next big project.

Despite the national unemployment rate hovering at a dismal nine percent, technology providers and policymakers are taking credit for job creation – millions of new jobs in the US. the United States.

Many of you may be aware that other parts of the economy are losing jobs as fast as the tech industry creates them. These job creation claims are an exaggeration at best – a bunch of bulls.

According to Preston, Cloud, Mobile, Apps and Big Data claim to create millions of jobs in the US And yet the national unemployment rate is 8.3 percent, and most likely higher than that. Many people are not counted due to their inability to qualify for unemployment compensation benefits. These people are most likely not counted or added to the roles they constantly cite, creating an incorrect count.

Job creation claims it makes sense for Microsoft to target cloud providers. Technology providers plan to double their workforce this year. They say mobile and cloud applications are creating millions of jobs in America.

That disconcerting boast amazes me; If that’s the case, why is the national unemployment rate at record highs? The unemployment figures for the United States are between eight and ten percent. These numbers are devastating for the US economic system.

IDC reported, in a recent statement, that the cloud computing movement would create more than thirteen million technology and related jobs worldwide by 2015.

Mr. Preston also noted in his report that Seattle-based Vorsite and its partners plan to double their workforce before the end of the year. However, IDC and Microsoft discuss the scale of the private and public cloud economies. To free up funds for new business ventures, they would have to reduce customer IT and processing costs. This move will also add jobs. Their analysis omitted the efficiencies achieved through infrastructure consolidation. This omitted fact will delete IT jobs even if you create new jobs elsewhere. This author certainly agrees with Rob Preston when he realized that putting a number to net earnings in this case is more conjecture than science. It is incongruous to determine which jobs are relocated, they are expected to demonstrate a more productive return on investment.

The idea of ​​mergers always seems to result in job cuts as the parent company begins to eliminate redundant jobs. He promised to bring home 5,000 outsourced wireless call center jobs. A combination of skills was attributed to part of unemployment and debugging or the creation system. Unfortunately, they have created five thousand more IT jobs … While twelve point eight million people in the United States were unable to obtain gainful employment. So many new jobs, and a million others have just given up job search efforts, and just left.

Big Data CIOs are looking for business intelligence and analytics expertise. Another industry, according to a report last year by an American organization, could face a shortage of one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand people in 2018. These are the people with deep analytical skills along with more than a million managers and analysts who know how to use the big data analysis system, allowing effective decisions to be made. With new jobs comes new skills and the requirement to retrain existing ones.

500 MHz to be released as part of an agreement with the FCC’s National Broadband Wireless Communications Agency: broadcasters that auction off broadband wireless communications control underused spectrum. The FCC chairman treats the proposed auctions as a government employment program.

“Few areas are more promising for job creation than mobile devices,” is what he told the audience of a consumer electronics show.

Shell Gamers and mobile technology are the main attraction for job creation. In a desperate bid for approval of a $ 39 billion deal to take over T-Mobile, AT&T had enough courage to discuss how a merger would create thousands of new jobs in the United States, Preston reported.

AT&T added some of those jobs to the billions of dollars. They said they would spend to expand their mobile broadband network.

The Analysis Group conducted a study for the apple. It formulated indirect figures for job creation. The analysis applied an employment multiplier; the Federal Office for Economic Analysis created this tool. The Congressional budget office estimated how many stimulus jobs for 2009 were created. The fluctuating numbers danced between one point six million and eight point four million.

The Analysis Group did not include in its job creation estimates bus drivers, delivery men, managers, butchers, bakers and candle makers, as well as others who may or may not owe their livelihoods to the financial magnitude of Apple and its employees. . , in some way or way.

Microsoft is not alone in the fiasco of the labor numbers. Like Apple, friends are criticized for their work practices. At some of the factories, offshore suppliers released the results of a study they commissioned to claim responsibility and recognition for creating and supporting 500,000 American jobs. Associated companies and suppliers created two hundred and fifty-seven thousand of them; they claim to have created glass manufacturers and shipping companies. Third-party application development companies claim 47,000 new jobs, which were absorbed as direct jobs. Apple’s claim to fame is, of course, that these jobs wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for them.

South Mountain Economics used a multiplier to estimate employment figures for the app economy to the rest of the US economy. It was noted that multipliers of 2.4 and 3.4 have been used to compare the employment impact of broadband diffusion across the country, and multipliers compared to other studies. A conservative figure of 1.5 served as the settlement. It would appear that every job in the app economy generates another 0.5 jobs in the rest of the US economy.

Technet, a lobby group representing tech industry CEOs and other executives, launched a separate study. They found that the so-called app economy – third-party development of lightweight apps for Amazon, Google, RIM (Research In Motion), Microsoft, Zynga, Facebook, and Apple, along with many others, has created a total of about five One hundred thousand direct and indirect American jobs since the introduction of the iPhone and the creation of the App Store.

How about that for a business savvy analytical analysis of employment numbers and job destruction – creation assessment?

Sentiment Analysis is assessing the mood of social media and is being incorporated by companies that monitor community-driven websites. New tactics and skill sets are definitely needed to acquire a position in the new world of IT, communications and analytics.

People talk, right? All it takes is a cloud …
