I'm in the services biz and it's the weakest it's been in the last three recessions. We're contending with overbuild, glut of unemployed consultants, H1-b issues, and most importantly the corporate spending spigot is "off". IBM doesn't impress me, they bought PWC with 30,000 new consultants and now they're laying off 15,000 of their own people, WTF? I never understood that deal in the first place and now I understand it even less. But maybe that's why I'm not a top executive getting money for nothing and chicks for free.
