Anecdotally, the vast majority of my developer buddies are gainfully employed, but a couple talented old hands who have been employed for 10+ years are struggling to find jobs.

Interesting, where are you located? US, Europe, Middle-East, Pacific?

Across the US, struggling friends are closer to the east coast of the US
