I'm finding the NYC job market to be astronomically slow right now. Slowest I can ever remember as a freelancer. Back me up on this?

New York is an oversaturated market and the whole bringing agency talent client side and aor's becoming passe over a portfolio of smaller shops become harder to get into because you're often doing the work of three and bending at will to the clients needs and not pushing back.

I am not sure about the ad business stat but unemployment in Minneapolis is about 2%

HOW CAN THIS BE? Employment is at 4%, there are now more options than we’ve ever had (for the first time going client side is an actual option) ... who can explain this?

Well. I'm pretty sure freelancers don't count towards unemployment numbers. So we can all be right here.

Yeah, I think more brands are building internal teams or working direct with freelancers

Personally, I like posts like this one a lot because:
- it forces companies to admit, you were never out to “hire the best”
- long-term loyalty to a company is completely overrated
- it’s finally “cool” to have hard skills and focus on being really good at them
