[webproducers] Re: WPO Event Nov 16 JOBS AND THE FUTURE OF THE INDUSTRY

In planning this upcoming event we're actually hearing very good news from
in-house agency recruiters as well as from recruitment agencies in New York.
They've told us that hiring for a variety of web, creative and interactive
services jobs has been on the upswimng especially at large organizations.
We've been told that jobs that IA and web producers positions are among
those being hired for currently.
