ant a job? Think about Silicon Valley, where two jobs await every qualified applicant and an astonishing 18,000 technical and managerial slots remain unfilled. If you always wanted to be in show business, here’s your big chance: booming Disney World and Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, will together add more than 30,000 jobs, from top management to ticket takers, over the next three years.
Even with M.I.T. and Harvard to draw from, the resurgent Boston area is starved for technical help. “I’m in desperate need of software engineers-40 or 45 of them,” says Andrew Hadjucky, chief financial officer of CMG Information Services, a software firm in Andover, Massachusetts, with more than 500 employees. Hadjucky says top engineers can pocket more than $100,000 a year, including bonuses and stock options. “The shortage of talent here is worse than on the West Coast,” he says.
