What's the matter with Kansas? No tech industry for one thing

According to a recent article in the KC Biz Journal, Kansas ranks LAST when it comes to tech jobs. Most of the problem is being blamed on Sprint layoffs while folks then mutter something nasty about tech workers from India under their breath.

Kansas lost 2,000 technology jobs in 2005, according to an American Electronics Association (AeA) report released April 24. That's the largest loss of tech jobs among all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, the report said. The majority of the job losses came in the telecommunications sector, where Kansas lost 2,400 of the state's 51,991 technology positions in 2005, the most recent data available.

It's not all bad news though, the lack of a tech industry in Kansas simply gives the many religious wack jobs around the state one less thing to complain about . . . Sure, the stories of Harry Potter always rile up the bible beating bunch but that's nothing compared to the sacreligious freedom, information and communities available online . . . Finally, I've noted before that the downturn at Sprint and tech job troubles make JoCo MILFS that much more widely available . . . Which really benefits us all.
