Following this discussion, AIA members, students, faculty and allied professions are encouraged to continue the momentum of the conversation.

Architectural Hiring and the Economy
Are there enough architects to meet the needs of profession in its current state?
The article “How Many Architects Does Our Economy Need?,” published in Architect Magazine, addresses the staffing challenges architects face in a changing economy. In evaluating the relationship between construction activity and architectural positions, it concludes that the gap between existing architectural staff and the number required to handle current workloads is at a historic low. The findings also show that architectural staff will have to grow by 25,000 to handle the growth in the construction industry and replace those who have left the workforce.
