2012 Hospitality Giants: Listing
Wing Leung and Mike Zimmerman -- Interior Design, 10/1/2012 2:00:00 AM

Ancillary data bears out the boom: The total number of jobs popped from 2,267 to nearly 2,800. Square footage has risen from a recessionary low of 143 million in 2010 to 168 million in 2012. Next year, it's expected to approach 190 million square feet, the highest in four years.
What about jobs? Design staff has grown from a '10 low of 4,572 to 6,131 in '12. The rise wasn't as sharp as last year (12 percent versus 19), but it's the highest jobs number we've seen since we started tracking trends in 2006. Design firms hired nearly 700 designers last year. Job creators, indeed.
