The National Science Board reported this month that the U.S. lost 687,000 high-tech manufacturing jobs since 2000, and that 85 percent of new research and development-related job growth for U.S. technology companies occurred overseas.
Although the report portrays that decline as one spread out over the past 10 years, other data indicate a steep slide in recent months. The hiring website SimplyHired.com indicates that tech hiring in the United States plunged by 15.3 percent during the last year alone.
