Putting Computer Guys to Work

The economy may be rebounding on paper -- but not in cyberspace. Job cuts in the tech sector jumped 60% between July and September. Computer companies alone saw lay offs jump 127%.

But there could still be help from Uncle Sam. The military is way short on computer guys. And the Selective Service Administration has been working on a "selective draft" of -- guess who? Yep. Computer guys. That's just in case it's needed. Senator John Kerry says the President will institute a draft of some sort if re-elected. The President says he won't. The SSA keeps working on the idea. (Reuters)
