I'm seeing it too, I quit my job 12 months ago and started looking in March, had some calls, some grueling hours long video interviews but couldn't seal the deal, I finally broke down and accepted a contract to work job in the Data Center/Cloud services industry (no prior direct experience) shook hands on it and then got a call for an interview for a perm job...had to decline it!

Unless riots destroy consumer and business confidence things will start to rebound soon!
