What Recession!?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Even in a recession, some parts of the economy grow while others shrink. It seems embedded systems (and software, generally) is a great place to be during this Great Recession (Lesser Depression at this point?). Despite worldwide fears of a double dip, I'm seeing a record number of job listings come across my desk this month. Due to the overwhelming number of recent requests, I've decided to run this special "Jobs Issue" of Firmware Update. Read on and maybe find a new gig...
