It depends on the job. I am in IT and right now, it’s brutal. There ARE jobs available, however, with people out out of work and a recession going on, companies can be picky. Even if the same # of jobs are available within the pool, there are more people trying to get it.
I am lucky as my company is making money and show no signs of not making money. But, we are cutting back and letting go of contractors and adhering to budgets more than ever.
Advice: Learn to interview well. Sell yourself and win the job.
Unfortunately, easier said then done.
