[consulting] How is the market for Drupal talent?

[Elvis McNeely]

I am a freelancer and am staying busy. My billable hours per week have 
gone up despite the economic times. I have no hard stats but I am 
guessing businesses are letting go certain staff that normally deal with 
the business websites. To be on the cautious side I don't expect my 
billable hours to stay where they are at if the economy continues to get 
worse. From what I have read though, the IT sector is not feeling the 
pinch as bad as others. Maybe that is a good sign.
