Good Afternoon,

Dr. Alderman recently forwarded an e-mail from the head of educational affairs for the Association of American Geographers. A couple of interesting points in the e-mail exchange:

"The U.S. Department of Labor projects 'faster than average' or 'much faster than average' growth in jobs for geographers, geoscientists, cartographers, urban and regional planners, and other geographic professionals, with projected needs of upwards of 15,000 additional employees in each of these career fields between 2008-2018."

And this, from the American Geosciences Institute:

Have a good weekend,
