Them too. Thousands of 'em. But not *tens* of thousands, which is a
bare minimum for any of the job categories that they *do* mention.
(And "designers" and "creative directors" may be meant to cover them
anyway, in any case).

"Multimedia" (whatever the heck that is) may be dead anyway, but I'm
not sure I see the evidence here.
