"In general, the market is hot," says Cindy Martinez, who analyzes geoscience workforce issues at the American Geological Institute (AGI) in Alexandria, Virginia. "Functionally, there's no unemployment of geoscientists right now."
Science Magazine (August, 2008) reports:
``There is a chronic shortage of skilled people, and wages have skyrocketed,'' said Bart Melek, commodity strategist at BMO Capital Markets in Toronto. ``There's no relief in sight.''
