Wisconsin Arts Job Outlook and Salary

Employers in the state of Wisconsin are looking for employees trained in the multimedia arts.  The employment outlook for multimedia artists and animators in this state is highly favorable with an expected fourteen percent growth rate over the next ten years.  However, competition for these jobs will still be quite high, with only the most qualified gaining employment.  Multimedia artists and animators in the state will typically earn salaries that range between $38,000 and $69,000 per year.  This salary is dependent on the number of years of experience and the type of employer.

For graphic designers who are planning on working in Wisconsin, the job outlook is also favorable.  The rate of employment opportunities for graphic designers, and web designers in particular, is expected to grow approximately six percent over the next decade.  The average graphic designer in this state will earn an annual salary that ranges between $35,000 and $61,000.

Both graphic designers and multimedia artists can expect to work in an office setting with a standard work week.  However, that may be rapidly changing with the expanding options of telecommuting which allow for a more flexible schedule.  Advancement in these high-tech careers can be achieved through further training for specialization.  Some in this field may choose to work as freelance contractors rather than a single employer to expand their income possibilities and allow them to be able to complete projects for companies all over the world.
