I can only speak for myself, but I would say it's pretty easy to find a job. I've never had a problem finding a job and getting hired. I'm confident saying this because I've changed jobs more times than people change their underwear. I've changed 4 jobs in the past year, and most of the switching happened because I was not satisfied with my job. I really don't hesitate to leave if I don't have a sense of job satisfaction at work. But I think the reason I'm able to do that is because I'm a jack of all trades (master of none, unfortunately :/) and my resume is really diverse. I have a degree in business administration management and accounting and payroll, so I have that going for me.
On the other hand, my mom pretty much laid it out for me as a youngster, that as a female, I would have to learn to work in a man's world and she got me certification for every forklift known to man, along with First Aid, Level 2. In the event that I ever have to do labour, at least it will be skilled and pays quite well. Upto this point in my life, I've worked in everything from warehousing to retail to office administration and management. Granted when I was an intern, it was difficult; but once I had the experience, it wasn't that difficult to get a job.
The job I'm at now is the keeper for me. My pay is wicked good and get amazing health coverage and all my dental expenses are paid for. Having my own corner office and being my own boss (sort of) is the icing on the cake. But in all honesty, I found this job and got called in for an interview in less than 24 hours after I left my previous job.
So, take from that what you will. I think if you have a skill set and good work ethic, it's not that hard to find a job. People are always hiring.
