I am totally baffled about this. I myself have a M.Sc. in CompSci and I have had no trouble at all getting a job (this was one month ago). During my education I was contacted several times by head hunters companies but turned them all down. I have had job scouts from US companies offering me jobs (and work permits)
A few months ago I compiled a list of the 3 companies I most wanted as job at and sent 3 applications (there were no job postings!) and got a job offer from all three after the interviews - so I must say getting a job couldn't be easier.
And it is the same with all my friends.
It might be that this is in Denmark. Here a B.Sc. or shorter education will end in unemplyment but a Master from one of the good universities will certainly not. SO if you are in the UK then move over here we have a high shortage of highly skilled IT people.
