The programming jobs are probably still around, but maybe they don't exist in certain areas of California, from which most of the complaints on this thread about the job market and real estate market are emanating.

Just finished reading a story in my local community newspaper comparing unemployment rates in certain areas of the country.

According to this story:

Atlanta---------- 4.5 percent
Los Angeles------- 6.1 percent
San Jose------- 8 percent
New York City------ 7 percent
My county outside Wash DC -------- 2.1 percent (which is twice what it was two years ago)

(When comparing unemployment rates, always take into consideration that "some" unemployment exists everywhere, that a rate of a couple-to-several percent is considered "full employment" (maybe worthwhile to check Bureau of Labor Statistics website for current definition), and that the "unemployed" are counted as people actively looking for work. It does not include self-employed people and those not actively seeking work.
