Is the job market that bad for us techies; web designers, developers, Internet marketers, SEO and such? Which fields are suffering the most? Ones that don't require special skill sets? Where I live and fortunately (mid Atlantic region) there are always many job postings for web design/development on craigslist. My viewpoint Im not seeing all the unemployed; even with friends.

Assuming you're a male between the ages of 25 and 44 with a college education, probably not that bad. The New York Times did a good infographic: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/11/06/business/economy/unemployment-lines.html http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/11/06/business/econo...

  Of the factors you listed, it looks like being 25+ and having a college degree are the main ones. The unemployment rate is almost as low for 45+ as for 25-44 among college graduates, and the unemployment rate for women in those groups is actually lower than for men (the lowest unemployment of all groups in the infographic is for white women 25-44 with college degrees). (edit: thanks greatly for the link, btw. it looks like it's been up for a few months, but I missed it the first time around.)
