I would expect skilled technologists to still be in demand.  Perhaps there will be a decline in new full-time hires, but that would likely be offset by  increased demand for contract positions.  I don&#x27;t, personally, anticipate significant removal of existing full time positions.  If you&#x27;re more comfortable with an employment arrangement, it might be worth locking one in soon.<p>Overall, though, the American economy is continuing to improve.  Greater world events are rattling the markets, and tech has taken a hit, but it doesn&#x27;t seem out of the ordinary.
