Architecture/engineering in building construction must be hit the hardest. Its somewhere in 30% unemployment. OTOH infrastructure/heavy civil is considerably better...
Yep, I'm in architecture/engineering/design. Somewhere between 25% and 30% unemployed nationally. It's bad.

Well, I hard to break it to ya... but this is not our average recession... this is a great recession, remember? maybe even great depression 2.0...
