All of that is good news for people doing the work, like Roger Oberdier, 33, who was hired at Alpine Archaeological Consultants in October.
对于像33岁的罗杰·奥伯迪尔这样从事这项工作的人来说，所有这些都是好消息。奥伯迪尔去年10月受雇于阿尔卑斯考古咨询公司。
He was happy to find a staff position after picking up jobs all over the country and is applying to Ph.D. Programs to advance his career, in which he plans to specialize in zooarchaeology (which means a lot of digging up butchered animals).
在全国各地做了各种工作后，他很高兴找到一个全职工作岗位，而且他现在正在申请博士学位来助力职业发展，他计划专攻动物考古学(这意味着要经常挖掘被屠宰的动物)。
And the increasing demand for talent affects the whole field.
而对人才日益增长的需求影响着整个领域。
Even friends who don’t want permanent jobs are doing pretty well, hopscotching the country looking for evidence of ancient human activity, Mr. Oberdier said.
奥伯迪尔说，即使是那些不想要固定工作的朋友也过得很好，他们在全国各地寻找远古人类活动的证据。
Job websites like archaeologyfieldwork.com are stacked with listings at pay rates significantly higher than they were in previous years.
像“考古实地考察”这样的求职网站上有大量招聘信息，报酬比前几年要高很多。
“Right now, the job market is in favor of the job seeker,” Mr. Oberdier said.
“目前，就业市场对求职者有利。”奥伯迪尔说。
“My friends who are committed shovel bums—who never want to sit in an office and write a report, they just want to travel the world and hike to new places and be the first person to see something in 10,000 years—they are taking the jobs they want right now.”
“我的朋友们都是坚定的铁铲队，他们从来不想坐在办公室里写报告，只想周游世界，徒步旅行到新的地方，成为一万年来第一个看到某个东西的人，他们现在就在做自己想要的工作。”
