DesignIntelligence has recently published an article that discusses the importance of hiring, even during this economic downturn, in order to infuse the industry with new talent to build a stronger future.
This sounds very consistent with the overwhelmingly positive feedback we've been receiving from firms posting their jobs on Archinect's job board. If you're a firm that expects to need additional staff soon, there is no better time than now to find an extremely talented, out-of-work architect or designer.

Like my former student, I, too, graduated in the midst of a serious recession. Many of my outstanding classmates at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology never became architects because they could not find a job after graduating. They took their architectural education and used it to become energy consultants, businesspeople, entrepreneurs, civil servants, teachers, or stay-at-home parents. Some of them went back to school to get another kind of education and became engineers or doctors. All of these people seem to have had good careers, but they were lost to the architecture profession. - DesignIntelligence

it's always nice to hear principals who recognize the value of their staff and the importance of developing the next generation of architects. this gives me hope for our profession.
does speck know any recent law school grads?!?
the practice of top firms hiring grads over a year out before graduation went out the door 2 years ago... i know more unemployed lawyers than unemployed architects.
and most unemployed architects are saddled w/ significantly less debt than law students.
“Oh, Jake,” Brett said, “we could have had such a damned good time together.”
Ahead was a mounted policeman in khaki directing traffic. He raised his baton. The car slowed suddenly pressing Brett against me.
“Yes,” I said. “Isn’t it pretty to think so?”

Out-of-work architect and/or designer at your service!
