Doom and gloom talk. Most of my customers who I visit and sell to in the Midwest are increasing IT staff.

In NYC it's not just talk. Companies continue laying off IT people at an alarming rate and it's hard finding jobs. Very hard.

Olympus recently took 800 jobs from Long Island to the Lehigh Valley so that the President of the company could have a shorter drive to work.

Lucky Olympus employees. Lehigh Valley is so much prettier than Long Island. The cost of living it much much lower.
