Which means that a few people work nightshifts and most are unemployed.

Because it's 'free' work, which means I don't get paid for it. Customers
pay for one design, usually presented as psd or the like and I have to
make it look the same on different browsers (and to make things worse,
here in Germany Netscape 4 compliance is still a big issue) . More work
for me and the money stays the same. And if I start to argue, I'll be
easily replaced.

Hope this made sense - my english is a bit troubled.
