Apologies if anyone finds that this should be in another part of the site but I thought I would give it a shot.
I have been overseas working in the Middle East since 2009.
The commercial electrical industry was getting hit hard back in '09n and it was time in my career to have a shot at working abroad.
My question to the top sparks on this site is how far has the industry bounced back since '09.
I'll soon be jumping in with agencies around the North of England on my return and I was wondering what the general state of affairs is.
I have the 2391, the 2397 and 17th.
I know a lot of subby's on here have the finger on the pulse and I was just wondering what the gauge is reading at the minute.
Thanks in advance , lads.
 
at the moment, it's on the low side of diabolical. wages being driven down by employers using unskilled labour for all but the more technical aspects. the domestic side is fooked. industrial is the only hope left.
