My perception is the globally the economy is slowing. But different areas are faring very differently. By areas I mean both geographically and in terms of application domains. There still are lots of problems in search of solutions. But if all you have is CS knowledge then it is hard to differentiate yourself from others with comparable qualifications. I think that knowledge of specific application domains is one way to differentiate. Broaden your areas of interest and demonstrate some relevant experience.
