Unemployment Hits New High In Silicon Valley
Though there may be some degree of cushion for IT workers in the US generally, Slatterz writes "The steadily climbing unemployment rate in Silicon Valley has reached a shocking four-year high
of 6.6 per cent. Recent statistics indicate that the percentage of unemployed workers in the sunny state of California has increased to 7.7 in August — up from 7.4 per cent in July. Jeffrey Lindsay of Bernstein Research explained that a number of Internet firms were chronically overstaffed."

Do not trust this signature.
there was an ad once, in a major turkish newspaper for a mechanical engineer.
They required that the applicant should have a BS, MS in mechanical engineering in an obscure field, that the applicant knew excellent Russian, English, Turkish and Arabic, s/he didnt have any issues with traveling and the list went on.
The only thing missing in requirements was an astronaut certification.
The ad became famous.

Wait a minute, didn't this happen already in 2001?

I usually try to work less in a day than there are hours in a day. Your time compression powers amaze me! Do you have a newsletter?

Dear Mr Coward,
We still haven't heard back from you regarding the position we contacted you about a week or so ago.
We are looking for people post unsubstantiated claims, anonymously to popular web sites.
Please respond as there is a shortage of qualified workers,

There's a shortage of people who have ten years of experience in technologies that have been around for only five years.

That was when I was young and naìve.
