With an unstable economy in this day, it might be difficult to keep employment in this field at first. I know three people in the graphic design industry who got layed off…but don’t feel discouraged. If you stay confident in yourself you’ll do just fine. A lot of designers are self employed or freelancing with side jobs. Good luck.

I don’t see any problems…remember graphic design doesn’t HAVE to be localized to where you are living now (you didn’t specify “this area”). I have clients all over the US/Canada (and occasionally some abroad). If is more important that YOU are good in the field. I am an Art Director for a TV station but I’ve had jobs in other fields…graphic design doesn’t mean agency work – you can also work as an in-house designer.
I’ve never not been able to find work. When I was unemployed I did freelance. I am finding the Hispanic market quite lucrative.
