Employment has always been stable, so that's a good thing, but in terms of investment in R and D, as I mentioned, in terms of benchmarks to other countries, like the U.S. and the Netherlands, it's just not at the same level. Why? I would say the recession has caused a lot of companies to focus on cutting costs and now that we're moving out of the recession, the companies are starting to look at new opportunities. Companies are also now starting to look at automation and starting to invest more in those technologies. Hopefully, we'll start to see a trend in terms of more private sector R and D in the years to come.
