Well, first of all, to go to a little bit of what we were talking about earlier, it's very difficult to invest in brand new employees, get them productive, and get them up to speed. It's not just about the salaries. Everyone who works on a project is in a high-liability field. For the salaries our sector receives, there's a disproportionate amount of personal and corporate liability, so there are all those elements.
The ability to know that there will continue to be investment in infrastructure and, with that, all the things that spin off from that.... What I mean by infrastructure is not just the water systems and the roads and so forth; it enables the economy and has the tangential benefit to other sectors that also hire engineers. Knowing it will be there allows employers to make a long-term commitment to a new employee. They know they're going to be there. They're going to get that return on investment. It's worth investing in their training.
It's not just the school. We can't rely just on what the school teaches them. As an industry, we need to continue to help them with continuing education and continuing professional development. We need to get them a breadth of experience. We need to get them to a point where we can charge them out at a rate high enough that they can actually start paying for themselves. Clients want the most experienced guys—not at the best fees, but they want the most experienced guys. We need the ability to get them there.
That's one key element. It makes the business case for us to invest in new employees.
