[Sigia-l] Lack of Opportunities for IA

[Peter Morville]

Leonard,

Companies *are* hiring information architects and other user experience
professionals (see below for a sample of job postings from the AIfIA job
board in January).  That said, I suspect that supply still exceeds
demand, which remains the case across a broad swath of IT positions.
But from my perspective, things are already better this year than last,
and will hopefully be significantly improved by the time you graduate.
Best of luck!
