Working to acquire clean comparable real
time actual supply and demand charts
We are trying to get it, but having trouble
getting it.
As far as we have gotten thus far the total
number of FTE we are producing for
aerospace and manufacturing. The problem
is that we need industry at the table to give
us real-time data.
