The general point of the article is spot on. I've heard that it's getting harder to retain top talent first hand from a lot of corporate recruiters.
I think the only problem with the article is this part:
"Many young people want their own businesses. The barriers to starting an Internet business are low."
The barriers to starting a one-feature company are low, but the barriers to starting a REAL business are still relatively high. Unfortunately it seems like there are still people out there who don't realize this, but even then, they account for a minority among all young jobseekers.
