But still the trend is slow , I mean from the Last year Mobilink has fired almost 500 employees the situation for other teco companies is also not ggod. However due to boom in Internet Connection specially broadband Connections business, they have relatively survived the economic downturn. Amazingly Pakistan's Software industries are booming with majority of the clients from US Europe ME sniffing around for Cheap solutions...!
However the job trend is still slow and not that good as it was. It will take time to recover...!!!
