No it's not. Happily, I live about 50 miles north of there...but Modesto's not a whole lot better. (just bigger)

Even in health care things are bleak. Most places are on hiring freezes or laying people off.

you must be in the tech support dept because health care is booming

I never really saw the demand drop completely to nothing, but I did see the percentage that were security clearance-only go way up.

The reason I ask is that I've been monitoring the job market since June 08 (or so). The number of jobs "related" to my experience was around 4 to 6 per week then. The number slowly dropped to around 2 through September 08 and then dropped off the charts in October 08.

From October 08 to May 09, I saw ZERO related jobs to my experiences. At the end of May, I started noticing about 1 job every two weeks with a little related experience listed. Fast forward to this week, and I have not only seen two jobs that are very much more related to my experience and job requirements, I applied for them both (I don't think my current job is going to last so I'm shopping around, in case you're curious).

Has this been the case for others as well?

I haven't noticed an uptick. I've submitted my resume to a few places and I haven't received one callback (I was very qualified for the positions) which leads me to believe the supply of people looking for jobs is huge.

So why are you looking for jobs? I thought you were rolling and also had millions in investments for your company? Reality check get ya. :laugh:
