Ah, you beat me to it. What creatives get paid in the US doesn't balance with what's asked of them. Supposedly this is different in other countries. The result of undervaluing creative and visual work is pretty obvious. The designers get demoralized and stop caring, and just mechanically shove jobs through the pipelines. You get a lot of work that is functional and not much else. This... APPEARS to be almost universally true. Some exceptions to the rule would include Apple Inc.... and whoever is doing the motion graphics and animation on Flight of the Conchords.
It's not a lack of capability. American artists didn't suddenly start sucking. The US has a major leadership problem. Not just in politics but in the professional world as well. My 2c.
