Our Sunday 'Help-Wanted' section is a joke! If you take out all the Education/School, Careerbuilder, and the self-promotions of the paper ads we would only have one (double-sided) page - but that's pushing it! And this is for a large metro area! I have several friends with MBAs as well as myself (MBA) who ALL are looking! I talked to one person with a Ph.D. working as a admin assistant. And those of us who ARE employed are being treated poorly to boot! Employers KNOW it's bad out there and abuse their power over us whenever they can. Slow in the my area in the far-SE as well.

I was laid off the first of August and I'm still looking. Job ads have pretty much dried up, and the places where I've interviewed tell me they've been getting record numbers of applications for every job they list. So, yes, things are pretty bad.
