Chicago's rich tradition of clearing out and rebuilding better doesn't just apply
to downtown skyscrapers, it applies to roads as well, it's a way of life ingrained by decades of tradition. The recession has fostered a lot of clearing out -- now, the time is right to step in and start rebuilding. While the need to purchase cars never goes away completely, many people held off and didn't buy during the worst part of the recession. But that only delays the inevitable, and recent upswings in the auto sales market show that people are buying now. A ready-made market to step in to! And with all of the benefits, both financial and in personal living, jumping on this opportunity is clearly a good career move.
