If you live in the UK going through Brexit there would be much to worry about, same if you're in China, as you can assume. In the USA, spending "confidence" is extremely high that even the experts say it is now impossible for us to go into recession. You can actually see lots of foreigners working in agencies in NY because opportunities are so great here, hell they don't want to be in their own country because of zero opportunities. Brits, Aussies, Brazilians, South Americans, Europeans of all kinds come to compete and they all seem to do exceptionally well here. Flavor Flav said it best, "Don't! Don't! Don't believe the hype.."

Recessions are good for freelancers.

Recently got a contract job at Facebook NY.

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
