Survey of Web Design Employment in My Area

A great deal of people prefers web developers (basically web designers) to have a strong knowledge of basic HTML and CSS (at least four years worth). There’s also a good pool of opportunities in Evansville, as well as places in Kentucky and other areas of Indiana that are only a few hours away. I noticed one ad from simplyhired.com mentioned being bilingual (English and Spanish), which means knowing more than one language or being willing to learn more than one language could be a good choice in the long run.

As for what the bls.gov website says, Information Security Analysts, Web Developers, and Computer Network Architects are all lumped together in one group. This does not necessarily mean that a person has to be all three at once though, since they provided separate descriptions on each job.

Basically, according them, “Web developers create websites to help firms have a public face” and require (in 2010) at least a Bachelor’s Degree as well as 1-5 years experience in a related occupation. In May of 2010, the medium annual wage was $75,660. And the Job Outlook is projected to grow 22 percent from 2010 to 2020, which is faster than the average for all occupations.
