Don i am seeing the same thing here the tech industry is paying and then some. The other ends i know of no. Houses are holding even with rate increase and food is getting more expensive. I love Oregon such a green state coast wise. Eastern Oregon is like desert but not so populated.

Right..a lot of my friends are still in high tech..one who got laid off had the whole department gotten rid of.. Hi tech has become such a rat race..yes..high pay..but I have read a lot of younger people get burnt out rapidly..it requires a certain personality to program.. Geez my cousin's son has that personality..he is 10 years old and taking college courses..he already has built two computers..the college called him up to say he made a mistake on his birthdate.. my cousin had to speak to them and said it wasn't a mistake and he had gotten special permission- aside from that..most people aren't in high tech and a few years ago so many people in high tech were being laid off.. also with software packages etc..the demand for superior people will always be there..but once again lay offs will come to the others
