With a settlement offer on the table of $415 million, it looks as though the class action suit against Apple, Adobe, Google and Intel might finally be coming to an end.

A federal judge indicated she would grant preliminary approval of a $415 million class action settlement in a contentious wage dispute between software engineers and tech giants Apple, Google, Intel and Adobe. The settlement is $35 million more than what was offered and denied by U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh last year. The companies officially upped their offer to $415 million in January.

Sweet, so after the lawyers take their third, then all 64,000 people get a little more than $4k, that's righteous bucks! Forget the fact they couldn't get work in their field in all this time due to back room deals between the major hiring forces in that field.
 
At least they will get $4k.

As far as a job, they will still be looking for a long time, because all these companies are bringing foreign workers under H1B Visas, since the foreign workers will work 80 hour weeks for half the pay, and they won't sue.

Time to start looking for jobs in a different field.
