I work in manufacturing. The only shops which are what I call "busy" are job/contract (supplier) shops. A lot of OEM's have laid off, and they most likely will never see their employee numbers get above '07 levels, with all the outsourcing that's going on.
I'm at a Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing Engineering design firm. We are overwhelmed with work right now. However, many of the companies we used to sub for are going under. We are also a minority owned firm that has been in business 40 years with a good reputation. I think that is why we are still in the game.
