The design industry is experiencing widespread layoffs as companies cope with economic challenges such as inflation, cautious investors, and sluggish consumer spending. Designers, who are vital for creating appealing and functional products, are often viewed as non-essential when financial cuts are needed. This trend is underscored by drastic drops in job listings for UX research and design roles, with reports showing a 71% decline in UX research positions and a 70% decrease in UX design roles since early 2022.
