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?
