I live in Dallas, and from what I can tell any shortage here is self-imposed. We just laid off four good developers. Took them three months to find new work.

I live in Dallas, and from what I can tell any shortage here is self-imposed. We just laid off four good developers. Took them three months to find new work. I keep running into walls with recruiters and HR departments who won't even interview me because I don't have their specific boxes checked off. Beggars can't be choosers, so my conclusion is they are not really beggars.
