I agree, the Michigan economy sucks big time and there's not much reason for optimism. Luckily, I'm in a field of engineering that is recession proof. I've been looking to hire a structural engineer (or 2!) for 6 months now. Tried the internet sites. Tried local classifieds all over the state. Tried the engineering societies. You'd think they'd be knocking my door down for an $80,000/year salary plus bonus, vehicle, full benefits, and the ability to work out of your own home office!! They aren't. Apparently, it's not as desperate as it's made out to be?
