Salarys have skyrocketed for just about all Engineering and construction disciplines. I had a standing offer on this board for years offering for schedulers at $100k-$150k+ per year.

Times were very very good while these companys were making record profits.

Now all of a sudden with the pending election and the polls saying what they are all these companies are putting holds on projects.

Didnt you hear Obama and Biden? they have it out for Exxon Mobil which I heard mentioned specifically in the debated 2 dozen times.

So this turn of events has been recent, VERY recent.

If you believe that the current downfall of the mortagage industry has anything to do with Bush Economics you really have drank the Kool Aid and there is nothing I can do about that.

I was showing an example of how trickle down economics works in a scenario everyone can understand. I am sorry you cant understand that.
