I just had a conversation with Dave Catanzaro, a local Job Shop recruiter I have known for over 15 years and he says he has recently been placing PCB Designers in town again. They have seen a rise in hiring activity over the past few weeks and combining that with the upwards trends in the stock market it may be justification for encouragement... I'll keep my fingers crossed for all those designers out there that are still looking for work... hope may be just around the corner. Bill Brooks PCB Design Engineer , C.I.D., C.I.I.
