And I suspect you may be right Bruce. While there have been many layoffs in
the technology industries in the US, I remember having a four-month job
search for a position in 1999 after I was laid off. Of course, I was in a
different market (SC) then too and have since moved to Atlanta. My office
mate just moved to another company and had no problem finding a job here.
