'There is no shortage of tech workers' != 'There is no shortage of GOOD tech workers'
What has been bothering me about this study is that almost no effort has been made to quantify or even investigate the quality of these workers. A community college can pump out STEM folk by the bundle, but they're not the quality that a school like MIT will produce -- the latter of which we desperately need and the former of which are f*ing worthless.
