jg said: lniles, why do you think the laid off engineers and techies will be able to find work quickly here in San Diego? Were you speaking tongue-in-cheek?
I don’t know why that is tongue-in-cheek, it is really hard to find qualified engineers in SoCal right now. One can get a similar salary in other, much cheaper, parts of the country so it is hard to get new grads to come here and I don’t know any currently-employed, competent engineers that are currently in danger of a lay-off. Things may be different for IT or software people, but degreed engineers are in high demand.
Things might change (and fast), but right now it is hard to get work done with all the head-hunters calling. We have way more work (and funding) than people right now.
