We must solve this problem". Mr. President. this matter is critical for the IT industry as further evidenced by a hearing held last month in response to industry concerns over this critical shortage of workers. The hearing focused on the need to amend current immigration law to raise the annual capcurrently set at 65.000for temporary visas for highly skilled workers. This may be a short term solution to the IT worker shortage. however. it is not the long term answer to this problem. American workers and students must have opportunities to learn these new skills whether through partnerships. education or retaining programs.
