Yesterday on the radio I was hearing that based on a survey of companies in the USA, they expect that in the next 3 years the majority of their employees will already be working on-site. And based on another survey, companies in the US expect to significantly reduce their workforce due to AI, in fact, they suggest that the people they will hire in the future must have knowledge and practice in the use of AI. And on the other hand, there is a change in the labor market where professionals specialized in the freelance modality determine their work schedule and companies can hire them by the hour, by week, by month or by project. Although this already existed, it is becoming fashionable. It is interesting what is coming in the labor market, let's see how it progresses or where it ends.

Ayer en la radio estaba escuchando que con base en una encuesta a empresas en USA, estas esperan que en los próximos 3 años ya estén la mayoría de sus empleados trabajando on-site. Y con base en otra encuesta, las empresas en USA esperan reducir significativamente su fuerza laboral debido a IA, de hecho, sugieren que las personas que contratarán en el futuro deben de tener conocimiento y práctica en el uso de IA. Y por otro lado hay un cambio en el mercado laboral en donde los profesionistas especializados en la modalidad de freelancers determinan su agenda de trabajo y las empresas pueden contratarlos por horas, por semanas, por meses o por proyecto. Si bien esto ya existía, se está poniendo de moda. Es interesante lo que viene en el mercado laboral, veamos como avanza o en que termina.

Navigating the USA IT Talent Crisis: Challenges for U.S. Companies Amid Scarcity, India's Offshoring and Nearshoring with Mexico.

U.S. companies are grappling with a severe shortage of IT professionals, driven by rapid technological advances and insufficient domestic talent. This talent gap is straining businesses, leading to higher costs, delayed projects, and intense competition for skilled workers. To fill this void, companies are increasingly turning to offshoring to India and nearshoring to Mexico. However, these strategies present significant challenges.

Offshoring to India has long been a solution due to its vast pool of IT talent. Yet, U.S. immigration policies, particularly the H-1B visa restrictions, create barriers, with stringent quotas and long processing delays hindering the movement of skilled professionals. Additionally, there’s often a mismatch between the skills of Indian graduates and the evolving demands of U.S. companies. Furthermore, India’s growing domestic tech industry is keeping more talent within the country, reducing the number of professionals willing to relocate to the U.S.

Nearshoring with Mexico offers advantages like proximity, cultural alignment, and similar time zones, but it also comes with challenges. These include potential cultural and language barriers, legal and regulatory complexities, and disparities in infrastructure. Moreover, competition for IT talent is also fierce in Mexico, leading to retention issues.

To address these challenges, U.S. companies need to invest in upskilling their workforce, leverage hybrid models combining domestic and international talent, and build strong partnerships with firms in India and Mexico. By doing so, they can better navigate the IT talent crisis and maintain their competitive edge.

Most of us weren’t born yet when COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) was created in 1950, it’s quite old and many IT guys don’t believe that still exist, however many companies around the world run their mission critical processes on it.

In my experience, banking, insurance and government sectors continue and will continue using it at least for this decade.

The simplicity design of COBOL as a business-oriented programming language it makes it fast, reliable and secure, additionally its capabilities of processing large-scale batch and high volumes of transactions without any problem it’s hard to be matched by another languages and technologies.

In Axkan Systems we count with an expert team of programmers and tester engineers in COBOL and currently we are training new generations of professionals in it.
