Not that they are being layed off from AIG and getting into porn. The question seems obvious but will there be enough $$$ in the porn industry for a flood of new girls?

Perhaps it would become easier to recruit more attractive women into the porn business due decreasing opportunities for making money in other types of business. But some porn companies might not be able to borrow money for making porn movies. Only those porn-makers who have lots of cash will be able to take advantage of this opportunity.
But making profitable porn movies might become harder if porn fans decrease their spending on porn movies. Which might happen due to the current economic troubles.

My opinion, from a strictly business perspective, is that the porn industry is going thru tough economic times. There are less productions, there's less work--even for established performers. And, performers are being paid lower the rates for a scene than they would have a year or two ago.
Bottom line: porn jobs, just like the rest of the US job market, are very tight. There will continue to be a few exceptions, like Angelina Armani who was just signed by Digital Playgroun, just four months after doing her first scene.

That was my exact response when I saw this thread title.
They have to be cute though.

I'd like to think that there may be more women getting into porn to make a buck.
At the same time, we the viewers, must be able to pay for the product (porn).
If the economy slows down, there will be less money available to buy porn.

What kind of bottom dweller thread is this? Wouldn't you rather see girls go into porn because they're total nymphos than because they're desperate for cash?

You are a complete idiot if you think most girls don't get into porn because of the money.

I was wondering about this myself.
One thing I've noticed from my local paper is that, as the number of conventional jobs advertised has gone down, the number of sex work adverts has gone up. These days even low-paid jobs in retail, cleaning, and basic office admin are few and far between. While, based on the adverts in my local paper, there have to be a good 3-4x as many escorts in the area than there were a year ago. I'm amazed that there's enough money around here to support them all, but obviously it's better than just living on benefits.
I'd be surprised if a lack of jobs didn't have a similar effect on the number of women trying to enter porn. Not a good think for the women currently in the industry, it'll inevitably mean less work for them, and probably a cut in their rates too.

I had that thought as well. And these are the time for someone to really take on issues like that. When the cash is flowing deep and fast it can be overlooked but it comes to the fore front when the cash dries up.
