6 percent, a record high in this usually stable profession. Five years later, after a steady rise that began with the economic recovery in 1993-94, half the readership (50.5 percent) now admits: Yes, there's a shortage of engineers. Harry, I don't want to get into a big argument over this issue......its not that important. However, please look at what you posted. "Five years later" [from 1993-4], that would make it around 1998.....and that's when shortages started to be felt. The worse time was between 1998 and 2000.....of course, when the bubble burst that all changed. Now engineers are having a hard time getting arrested. ted
