Places and Spaces: The market is improving

Gwendolyn Comollo said...: It is interesting to see that things are improving, not only for landscape architecture firms, but everything. This is a good sign that the economy is starting to recover from the past few years that have taken a toll on many businesses. While the majority of the results from the survey were not necessarily "significantly higher," there was definite improvement on quite a few. One that stood out to me was the "new work" category. The results were primarily on the positive side; progress is being made. As well as the "new work," it is nice to see they are hiring entry-level landscape architects-- good sign for college students. However, I am not too surprised that more than half is still not hiring. Give it time, and that number will decrease.
