| One way to know how the commercial real estate winds are blowing: talk to Keller Augusta?s Jodi Dakin, and Sarah Weatherbee. As a boutique CRE search firm, they know when Boston area jobs open up. In the past couple months, after a serious drought, they started to see hires for the $45K-a-year admin jobs cut in the prior 18 months. The development and construction hires have been for health care and life science projects. Noticeably absent, Jodi says, are the $60 to $200k jobs. But, she added, ?It's getting better. We're not seeing hundreds of resumes coming in from people laid off.? This year, she expects hires in work-outs, acquisitions, and perhaps design and construction by Q3 or Q4. |
