Gerald, I'm not sure that those 14mil out work are developers. That market is still pretty tight.

Not to start a flame war But there are 14 million ppl out of work in the US. Many who have been out of a job for over a year. I would imagine there are a few CF'ers/PHP'ers/Insert your stack here, etc. who have been out of work long enough to be hurting enough to take any work that they can get. I have been there even in good economic times when I was self employed. To quote Bob and Doug, $10 is $10 eh? I agree with Sean and Matt but there are others that are not as fortunate to have a CV as impressive as theirs. Flame on Garth, G!
