Jobseeker's Revenge - Preparing the discouraged jobseeker for the market's inevitable return. Revenge of the nerds! Laid-off programmers have filed a lawsuit accusing the US Department of Labor of illegally denying them job-training benefits available to workers in industries where jobs have moved overseas. The suit, which seeks class-action status, was filed Jan. 2 in the US Court of International Trade in New York, said Michael G. Smith, attorney for the plaintiffs.
