132. PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS SERVICES IN CAREER JOBS

This category, with its vague name and broad reach, is comprised of several sectors, but three in particular, engineering, computer systems and consulting, experienced growth from January to July of this year. Architectural and engineering services added 6,300 new jobs, with a greater need for biomedical, civil, environmental and industrial engineers.

Because of the continued and rapid developments in technology, computer systems design and related services added 34,300 positions. Management and technical consulting, which added more than 30,000 jobs, is growing in part due to continuing complexity of business and growing demand for advice in all areas of business planning.

The "Q3 2008 Job Forecast." also found that, despite job losses in temporary staffing this year, 31 percent of hiring managers in the broader professional and business services category are expecting to add jobs in the third quarter.While pocketbooks are hurting and experts everywhere are telling us to cut back on unneeded extras like daily lattes and eating meals out, we still love our take-out and it shows.

While the overall leisure and hospitality industry is experiencing a decline (no doubt from said cutbacks on leisure activities), there were a couple of bright spots. Strategically located in Louisville, KY, we are structured to think and act locally to all of our geographically dispersed clients. Each C&I project team forms an integral bond with the client.
