We're...

Re: What is September going to bring?

Dropping. We won't be offering big increases to get guys to move. If we're offering a project which is 2,3,4yrs long, that's the incentive, not a jump from 40 to 45k (for example).

Re: What is September going to bring?

It's becoming more insular. We struggle to get approval for people to work for us on projects for big local developers unless they have local experience. They are really pushing back hard against...

Re: What is September going to bring?

Did anyone go to Cityscape?
