IBM Isn't Hiring Based on Age Groups. It Still Hires Based on Salary Expectations.
Published yesterday by Preston Fore
A new report says that "IBM presently has 2,840 job openings in India, 376 in the US, 228 in Japan, 225 in the Philippines, 127 in the UK, 112 in Canada, and 96 in Mexico."
Job advertised does not mean job available. But let's plot the above.
It is not about the skills available, it's about the expected cost of labour. It's not about age or seniority, nor is it about performance on the job. Many people have learned this the hard way, having falsely assumed that working very hard for many years would result in job security.
This is why - in manufacturing in particular (electronics, garments and so on) - a lot of work gravitates towards 9-9-6 sweatshops in the far east. █
