Canadian Geomatics Industry survey
Browsing Geoconnections tonight and I ran over a post from a couple of months ago that should be of interest for anyone looking for some industry market research. These come from the 2004 Census Survey of the Canadian Geomatics Industry. The Daily Release (

Surveying continues to be the most common geomatics activity.
