With the number of ux jobs greatly declining, will treehouse do away with ux content?

Ive noticed that on just indeed alone the total jobs have gone from around 8k to around 2k. Clearly a dying specialty. Will it make sense for treehouse to keep the content around?

I would hope that in the midst of the world health crisis, nobody would take any action based solely on recent job trends.

That's just one heck of a drop off though. Web dev still seems to be doing fine though.

I wouldn’t count this as a paradigm shift just yet. The whole world is in flux and UX certainly isn’t going anywhere. It is just a turbulent time.

I completely agree with Corey Miller. The world is going through one of the toughest and most unique situations we've been faced with so everyone has been impacted in some shape or form.

I would also remember to look up niche-specific UX jobs such as UI Designer, Interaction Designer, Motion Designer, Product Designer, UX Researcher, Information Architect, and UX engineer. Occasionally, positions could be getting lost in search results depending on how the company labeled them.
