I know that in Wisconsin, for the few jobs that came up lately, there seems to be no shortage of people applying for them. Also, management seems to want to eliminate the positions, and make do with the rest of the staff instead of replacing the person leaving. I've found this in at least 3 jobs I've applied for in Wisconsin. One job, after not hearing anything for a while, I called and they finally emailed me back saying they were going to make the position part time - 10 to 15 hours a week.
