The recession has drastically affected the job market and forced employees to reevaluate both their priorities and their expectations for moving forward, according to the 2009 PRWeek Salary Survey.

This week's salary survey found that salaries were increasing and that more than half of respondents were not actively job hunting. It also featured agency leaders saying that economic uncertainty would not deter their plans to hire new staff.

Given the roller coaster ride the economy has been on for the past few months, there are understandably concerns about how a possible recession could affect the PR industry.
