Yes,l this is very on the mark, I think.
It can be seen as one indication from certain angles - after all, in
my experience, UX-related people are
often the first on the chopping block when cuts are to be made ("What,
don't program and don't make peektures? I can open Visio myself!").
On the other hand, companies are learning the value in what we (in
theory) do in some cases, which can make for better news in tougher
times, as better design can make for better retention, buy-through,
ease of transitioning online and all that other stuff we say a bunch
on industry lists.
So it all kinda zeroes out.
