Front page in today's Detroit News: Firms go outside Michigan to fill IT jobs—They cite talent shortage while some workers with tech skills can't find jobs
GalaxE.Solutions, a project management firm known for its "Outsource to Detroit" banner on its Woodward Avenue building, has stumbled trying to fill 500 IT jobs.

"There is a shortage nationwide of good IT talent," said Ryan Hoyle, director of global recruiting for GalaxE, which has 150 IT workers in Detroit and hopes to add 350 in the next few years. "There just aren't a lot of top students going into IT."
Kudos to the local firms trying to fill the gap now but what was conspicuously omitted from the article was that, so few years ago, the ominous message was delivered to future IT students that all IT jobs had been permanently outsourced to India.

Why feign surprise now? What changed? Did the horse leave the barn?
