Job market in Austin; Was: On the beach - again

["Rob Writer" <piercedroo -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

Samuel.Beard said this about jobs in Austin:
<This was in Austin, TX, but I HAVE noticed more positions coming across on 
Monster.com, at least.>

Samuel,
I've noticed that one particular company in Austin has multiple postings on 
Monster and other jobsites right now, for Technical Writers of various skill 
levels, and for editors. This company just won a large state contract and is 
hiring about 6 tech writers. The bad news is that the company that lost the 
contract is also an Austin-area company (for whom this contract is the sole 
source of revenue). So, once the contract transitions to the new company, 
the writers (6+2 contractors) will be out of work, or trying to get their 
same jobs back with the new company.

Other than these recent postings from this particular company, I haven't 
seen to much activity in the Austin area in over a year.
