Web Design and Development, Domain, Webhoting and Media Solutions

How hard is it to get a graphic design job in Denver/CO? I'm seriously considering going into graphic design (either print or web) I know the industry on a whole is very competitive and is flooding with new graduates every day. But what about the greater Denver area and colorado? How can i find out how many graphic artist are employed, and how many are not and just doing freelance work? How many people am I going to have to compete with? Any resources would be great!

Any suggestions on technology schools or sites to compare stats? Any suggestions on websites to compare schools? I am looking at two schools for web design and development. I already have a Bachelors in Business but I would like to be a web developer. Would it be better to go to the Art Institute or a private college? I live in Denver so I might go to Denver University... Does anyone know if the Art Institute is promising. I am looking to find a career and want to appeal to employers and also get the best skills and learning/training.
