Engineering a change? Well, no

Philadelphia's CDI Corp. is a great barometer for the economy and, no surprise to anyone, it (meaning the economy) is still in the tank. CDI Corp is a staffing company that specializes in dispatching engineers in three major segments, process and industrial, government services and aerospace. It also has a recruiting and temporary staffing division known as Management Recruiters International, an IT staffing arm and a foreign organization, AndersElite, which specializes in construction hiring in England. (By the way, it's really bad there, if AndersElite revenues are any guide -- down from $60.2 million to $25.5 million)
