While analysts now say that the “Great Recession” officially ended in June 2009, many industries still feel its effects, not to mention the nation’s stubbornly high unemployment rate and the suffocating housing market. 2010 has proven that the A/E/P and Environmental consulting industry has a long way to go before it can claim a victory over the recession. Some indicators show that the industry has bottomed out and may see a slow uphill battle in 2011. But many industry experts hesitate to make firm predictions.
In these extraordinary times, A/E/P and Environmental consulting firm leaders need access to extraordinary insight and information about what to expect and how to handle the myriad of challenges currently facing them. Will the struggling residential housing market continue to weigh down the economy? Will the A/E/P and Environmental consulting industry plateau in 2011, grow worse, or recover? Will unemployment rates improve as a result of federal initiatives? How real is the threat of a so-called "double dip" recession, where apparent improvement regresses before true improvement sticks? When can A/E/P and Environmental consulting firm leaders expect to see a real, sustained improvement?
Knowing the answers to these questions can give your firm an edge on the competition. And you’ll find vast research and discussion of these and many other issues in the 2011 A/E/P and Environmental Consulting Industry Outlook: Strategy and Insight for Design & Construction Firms, a new research report from ZweigWhite.
