That's my biggest problem.
I'm on a single income, I get paid well now, and could afford mortgage payments a house in the south bay area (although it would take most of the income). But I'm afraid if I loose a job, I will not be able to find one in IT locally that pays as well.
The last few years, I've worked at 3 jobs, one high paying job during the boom, then about 44% of that during the bust. Now I make 117% of my original dotcom salary. If I loose my job tomorrow, who knows what the heck I'll be making at the next job.
My dad worked for IBM for 26 years, talk about job security.
My only solution is to find a woman who makes roughly the same so we can support each other when one of us it out of work, or to start my own business and hopefully make the same amount of money at it.

values are sky-rocketing, while salaries are staying the same
and even shrinking. In some areas it is becoming very difficult to make
a decent living in IT field - not to mention zero job security.

really need for recovery to begin is the number of higher paying jobs to increase.
I get calls from recruiters with mediocre
salaries,
and they admit that it's targeted at someone who
is
unemployed and will work for lower wages. I'm sure they skim more than a little bit off the top.
