I don't know about it being a better market. There's jobs (and that's actually been pretty consistent), but the pay, at least in my area, is just not there and hasn't been for the past 7 years (very slight uptick in the past 18 months, but nothing major yet). Sticking with the old corporate job is still the best bet around here.
