As someone who has worked in industry studios (both on game and non game related projects), most jobs out there are graphic design or multimedia designer and even those are limited due to the economy at the moment. A pixel artist job is a bit too niche, especially since most game studios are looking for 3D artists, though I'm being generous since even studios aren't hiring now. Went to a networking meeting since I did major in 3D and literally it's a job desert at the moment.
