I am on my way toward finishing the book entitled "Science Lessons - What the business of biotech taught me about management" by Gordon Binder, former CEO at Amgen and Philip Bashe. While I have not finished my full review, I did want to share the following.
One of the key phrases that struck me today was the statistic he calls out on page, 196 when he recounts the statistic from the US Department of Labor and states "that by 2010, at least 10 Million positions will go unfilled."
Just once in a while I would like an author to come out and state that they "Were wrong" about using a quote and believing what somebody told them. Here is today's unemployment number showing the 10.6% rate of unemployment as of February 21, 2010 http://www.google.com/publicdata?ds=usunemployment&met=unemployment_rate&tdim=true&dl=en&hl=en&q=unemployment+rate+united+states
Maybe Mr. Binder and the US Department of labor meant to say, their will be ten million positions not available for people. Just a thought.
