Summer has begun and it is starting to really feel like old times, the summer being the busiest season for land surveyors! We are really busy and many of the survey companies we know have been able to call up folks they previously were forced to lay off and put back to work! We LOVE hearing that! It's a victory for our industry!

Our Putting Surveyors To Work program is still in full swing and we hope that more and more land surveying firms contact us as they get ready to hire staff! We have a lot of qualified, hard working surveyors and surveying company staffers located across the country that have forwarded their resumes to us, and they are anxious to get back to work! We appreciate the employers who have contacted us looking to fill a position and hope to hear from a lot more! Remember - it is a FREE service for both the folks looking for work and survey firms looking to hire them!

Welcome to the Matthews Co. Blog!

As many of you know, we are on a mission to help re-employ as many as we can within our industry. We have been hard at work on our Putting Surveyors to Work program and decided a blog would be a great way to communicate the latest and greatest - and for you to post your comments as well!

Happy Monday and we'll be posting again soon!
