As for the Y2K problem, this was not a catastrophe because the industry did the work; remember all those Cobol programmers that came out of retirement? No, they were already working because the rates were so good in the mid-90s. It was the cheap foreign labor that upped the work force in time, a courtesy to the US congress stabbing the American workforce in the back in exchange for campaign contributions (bribes) to both parties from companies that had never given any money to either party before. Unfortunately, most of the foreign workers are still here and more have come over, so many COBOL programmers of all ages have had to leave the business.
