I really think the most people having a problem with the job outlook at the moment (in the tech/programming industry at least..) , are the ones who are a bit further along in their career(s).
Someone who was making big bucks as an upper-level programmer/manager isn't really willing to back down to entry level positions, or can't because they've built up a lot of possessions based on credit, based on their previously high income.

Then again, I think people with a good portfolio, skill-set, and price.. will have no problem in the right market(s). :)
