Patrice,
You will also notice the same on monster.com , computerjobs.com , headhunter.net, and a lot of the individual headhunter home sites. Some of the sites are running the same ads for the same job but with different headhunters.  It is definitely a different market than it was 12 months ago. The hiring company can be really pick today and offer less money too. I think that there are still a lot of jobs out there it's just that they are "word of mouth" openings. The companies do not want to pay the 50 % of the first years wage to a headhunter. Just my thoughts.

I think it is all of the above. Mainly the recession and Dot-bomb.

I noticed on www.dice.com <http://www.dice.com> that the number of job postings is way down.

Is this because of the recession / dot-com collapse, or because DBAs are no longer in demand?

I notice that most postings emphasize that they need U.S. residents or citizens, green cards, but nobody seems to be aware that a Free Trade "pass" exists. What are these HR people doing?
