not enough people here in the US to take care of the amount of work they have- sure you outsource to India, right? I was not on this site when this article came out back last year in the paper- I so wished I could have posted then.

You have never heard that our population is aging?
Have you ever heard of baby boomers?

It's amazing how people will read something and take it so out of context. Aging population or workforce means in general - not just MTs.

Tired of being called an old lady or aging!
I am in this over 26 years. call me old! I am young at heart, about 21. I am also in biological age just 47! How dare you assume. Some of us started working our way through college! I have 3 small children yet, and plan to work for many years to come in this industry. Also don't talk to me like a dutch uncle telling me how I complain this, etc. You don't know me (the above poster) and don't presume you do! I am at once apalled, and insulted someone would come here and talk to me, the one reading this, that way. If you had to put your user name on a regular basis, you would never speak this way. One thing about this board is allowing people to post names on this board begets nastiness. There, now. I have said my old lady, lazy, bad-quality, MTness piece!

Larry Gerdes CEO of Transcend is aging just like the rest of us!
LOL!!

I'm not really near anything. The nearest city has a population of
about 57,000. It's really close.

That "aging population" excuse is sure a load of
done at home, and requires lots of experience, older MTs are an asset, NOT a liability. Shame on them for using such a lame excuse.

"Aging workforce" refers to the population in general - not MTs.
It's pretty well documented that with the baby boomers aging, that anything related to healthcare including transcription will increase in demand. Supply will not exceed that demand.

Exactly. The majority of the population can't afford health care.
Huh. Sound familiar?
