It's almost entirely Cultural Resources Management - archaeology not anthropology. The industry goes through boom and bust cycles periodically, but they are coupled with development. We happen to be in a period where there is an increase in demand for archaeology around the world and we are also in short supply of qualified archaeologists. Therefore, pay rates are rising dramatically, and job security is also increasing.
