Ran across this article the other day. I'm not an EP guy, but I thought this was interesting. Has anyone noticed an uptick in business as a result of the economic downturn in the U.S.?

-M.L.

I thought there would be, but no one wants to spend the money.

Security is always a red-ink proposition. Until the crap hits the fan, that is.

The combination of heightened threat and tigher belts is spelling out more demand, less budget.

So it's a Win for the $10/hr guys.

Perhaps, but it's the upper echelons of the EP pay scale that are having to take less or be replaced. I don't support this at all, but it is what it is.

Where I see this also is where a client would use a larger details, they're now using less bodies and generally watching where the money goes much closer.

I guess the Clients must feel their Ass is worth less.

over the last 2 yrs weve had multiple incidents where a clients wants "needs" some sort of protection and when they hear the price its a no go. sometimes negotiations are possible but not always. but hey you get what you pay for.
