real estate developers and finance people, possibly. ULI estimates unemployment for some segments of their membership at more than 40%, I vaguely recollect. Architects are pretty far up there (didn't AIA or somebody estiamte 25%?), as our construction managers. APA or AICP was estimating planner unemployment at 15-17% based on member surveys.

Misery all around.

And since most of the employed architects are working on projects that are in china, and china is training their own architects, I think 10 years from now there will be 90% unemployment rate for architects in USA...

I think it will take more than 10 years for schools in China to equal those in Europe and North America.
