Lots of doom and gloom and recession talk. I know the figures don't lie but anyone who has been in the industry since the 80's knows that we have been here before. (Not to mention - there is typically a downturn in summer months - no matter what the economy).
The article is informative (thanks for posting) and I'd love to see more finds by fellow members - staying on top of things is key- but perhaps we need to use this information in a positive fashion. The more people putting projects on hold only means that there will be a larger demand later.

Just a thought!
