that is a misleading number because they specifically exclude non-ethical practitioners. "A GISP is a certified geographic information systems (GIS) Professional who has met the minimum standards for ethical conduct and professional practice as established by the GIS Certification Institute (GISCI)" most wankers would fail that test right there. Including non-ethical professionals? yeah, 122,200 sounds about right. > > > -- > James Fee GISP > RSP Architects Ltd. > 502 South College Avenue, Suite 203, Tempe, AZ 85281 > 480-889-2095 (w) > 602-819-2142 (m) > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of P Kishor > Sent: Monday, November 17, 2008 12:46 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Geowanking] How many GIS professionals are there in the > US? > > > On 11/17/08, SteveC <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Subject says it all...
