Tech Companies Want You

The New York Times reports how tech companies are in need of code programmers. In a New York Times article Steve Lohr reports that "Companies cannot hire fast enough. Glassdoor, an employment site, lists more than 7,300 openings for software engineers, ahead of job openings for nurses, who are chronically in short supply. For the smaller category of data scientists, there are more than 1,200 job openings. Demand is highest in San Francisco. Nationally, the average base salary for software engineers is $100,000, and $112,000 for data scientists," and Sonaly Kohli in the Atlantic Monthly reports that there is a shortage of coders and how important it is to teach coding to teens.
