183 v. 75. where are the URL's for this info? I'm looking at biz.yahoo.com which contains biz.yahoo.com and biz.yahoo.com neither mention a jobs#. so go to the horses mouth: spectrumsignal.com the 'general' doesn't have this release, so click on 'financials' - the release here doesn't mention a job# (neither do other tabs) go2net.newsalert.com doesn't mention it, neither does: go2net.newsalert.com Flames ok if you provide the url's..., thanks -Kevin

In viewing the PR Releases that people have posted on this board, We do have 183 jobs indicated by the Government and 75 jobs indicated by SSPI and I have not created either number through any sort of calculation on my part. Spectrum has said that this figure of 75 jobs represents a doubling of a particular category within the Company and maybe the person from the Government interpreted that to mean a doubling of the entire staff. Perhaps we ought to just dispense with the Government's Press Release as just the usual political hot air and let it go at that. Perhaps I overreacted to the Government hype and attributed the Government's overblown rhetoric to something that Spectrum may have initiated. In order to get the Government to part with the $6.3 Mil, I suspect that someone at Spectrum did a selling job on the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans (that is amusing)and the Government's PR Release was the result. Anyway, the point of all of this is to try to interpret what it means for Spectrum to expand into new markets for their technical expertise when their current market effort seems to be floundering in their old markets. I'm just posing the question: Is it wise to go galloping off in a new direction at this time unless the prognosis for the future health of Spectrum's old markets are pretty dismal? If the latter is true, I have to be concerned for the near term prospects of the Company.
