As with the end of the dot com era loss of jobs and end of easy money.

How do you think the current downturn in the overall economy is going to effect our jobs?

Well, I don't think that will be an end. Because the amount of money for design is small in comparation with the sum that big companies hold.

My sector doesn't seem to be slowing. I thought it would, because I build a lot of sites for real-estate and land-development companies, but if anything, they seem to be investing more, to compensate for the slow-down. Plus, the amount of money needed for web-development pales in comparison to amount of capital these companies seem to have, and it is hard to find people that do exactly what we do.

Downwards US economy effects on the IT fields.As result many Web designing companies left from their original track from outsourcing work.We all have to wait until the stability of US economy.

There will always be a need for graphic designers and web design, although all areas will be affected by the downturn it is how each company and sector deals with it

i think there is no need to worry more than any other job
