My knowledge is only anecdotal. I know a lot of engineers in Aerospace that work at Boeing and in fact sold my house to a guy who worked for Phillips in software in San Antonio. Phillips closed down their operations there and he got a job at Boeing in Seal Beach.

A younger friend of the family lost her dot.com job but got a nearly equal paying job with Downey Savings locally. Now she's working for a firm in Virginia, still good pay. Seemed to have little trouble finding a job.

Maybe they overhired in boom times competing to get limited numbers of qualified and quality employees. Now, after down-sizing they will go through a period of profits before they get to hiring these people again.
