Digg! this story.

Mr. Cringely has a thought-provoking article this week regarding leading economic indicators, in which he makes the case that the % of CCIEs in a given population, or the amount of GDP per CCIE is something to pay attention to.
CCIE = Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert
If one were to relate this to late 19th-century economic development, it might be equivalent to the % of Master Mechanics in a given population (you know, the guys who made the key parts of trains, automobiles, industrial tooling, etc.). But back then, we didn't think about leading economic indicators as people doing a given job.
Interesting shift in thinking regarding important economic factors (although I would have preferred 'people' not 'men' in the title). There are probably others which are technically focused, but all about the people in the role. Wonder what they might be...
