Bewares statistics! They can be easily manipulated.

These camps are telling their students that they should be getting $75/hr all day long. The reality is that most should be like $20-30/hr. They'd be better served if they were told to go for a fair rate, get a job and experience and were prepped on how to negotiate as their skills increase.
That being said - I really like the personalities of the people coming out of the camps and I've hired a few. They're generally hungry and excited.
Even if they claim something more specific than literally any job at all, they'll probably count anyone doing something related to IT (if only for a week).
I've also read about boot camps hiring their alumni as teachers/tutors for a bit if they can't find a job. I always assumed that's mostly to be able to count those people as successfully placed.
