[lbo-talk] IT, Other White Collar Jobs Floating To Cheaper Locales

[Doug Henwood]

By the way, with last month's employment report, the BLS introduced a 
new industrial classification system, NAICS, replacing the SIC 
system, which had its origins in the 1930s. There's now an 
"information" sector, which includes ISPs and web portals along with 
traditional things like book publishing. Total employment in the 
field: 3.3 million, or 2.5% of total employment. That share's 
unchanged since 1980, and is actually lower than in the 1950s.
