The Last to Know: Coroflot Design Salary Surveys
Author of this post: Scott Chappell | About Blog Authors »
They have been doing it since 2001, and Coroflot’s Design Salary Surveys continue to illustrate why design is actually a pretty practical career choice, regardless of what Mom and Dad said. Despite our recession — or the euphemistic “super recession” I’ve read it labeled as of late (That’s just a Depression, no?) — design salaries are growing, as are job opportunities. By the way, I want to know who the Interaction Designer is that is making a cool $Million. Check all of the design salary surveys here.

Hate to burst your bubble, but design salaries have mostly stagnated and dropped along with the rest of the world economy. And while there are job opportunities, the explosion in the number of design graduates (especially in Asia) over the past few years has actually decreased the likelihood of landing an industrial design job.
Might want to base your comments on something more than Core’s survey. It’s only one data set.

Thanks for the comment. Perhaps stagnation is true of 2009…Core77’s results are for 2008…but stagnation is not such a bad thing at this very moment. You are a writer/moderator for Core77 (the owner of Coroflot), correct? Happy to hear of more sources for career information on design.
