"Tell that to the thousands of high-quality IT people that were axed from the airline industry after 9/11. Some of the best technical people I've known over the past 18 years were cut in that timeframe, and some of them had a very hard time finding work, mainly they were located in a smaller market and had skills which were seen as only applying to one specific industry."
Don't get me wrong. I feel for anybody who loses his/her job. If they live in a small market than regretfully they will have to move (assuming they have skills desired by the current job market). I live in Colorado and worked for a company that had fallen on hard times and purchased/moved to Virginia. I took my chances and stayed in Colorado. Somehow I found plenty of work during the dotcom bust.
