My company shut down two weeks ago (with little drama), and I was back in the job market. I got three jobs offers within two weeks, all with a significant raise what I was making, and one "name your price" type of offer. If you are a really good engineer with special skills, there is no recession for you. If all you did is some php app, or some bug fixing here and there (mediocre engineer in a big corp), then you probably gonna have trouble finding a job. It is a skilled based economy right now, and people with skills either find jobs right away, or just start their own companies.
