ARE ALL THE FIRMS LISTED ON THE DIRECTORY, OR ARE THERE MORE OUT THERE? PLUS IS IT TRUE MORE AND MORE COMPANIES REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT DESIGN IS TO THERE PRODUCTS, SO MORE ID JOBS ARE OPENING UP???
All firms are not listed.

Good question, but don’t forget there’s probably new firms popping out every year. That would be cool in there was an average of new firms popping out every year.
Its always nice to see what the gov’t is reporting. Thanks for the link!
