You should ALWAYS feel lucky to have a job...

I know people who in the past 1 year have taken SEVERE pay cuts >US$25,000 to take a new job.

I also know people who have been looking for over 2 years for ANY job. Mind you, these are midlevel midcareer people, but still. I don't see many entry level positions either.

I keep up with what's going on in my own job market, and it's really really bleak out there.
