One thing niggles though...I just wonder if those stats will tell the whole story. The recent experience in one of my businesses (The Oxford Knowledge Company - a regional IT support outsourcing business) has been that we're getting a big increase in speculative calls from recruitment agencies since we posted jobs at http://tr.im/OKCoJobs They are really feeling the pinch and I wonder if they're advertising more aggressively in CW and other places. Not sure if it's a factor, but I'm keeping a watch! Interesting stats there – just included your post in my blog. One thing niggles though…I just wonder if those stats will tell the whole story.

However, I really hope to specifically see more demand for green writers (or green freelancers in general) that specialize in creating green content or that work with eco ethics. Can the recession be turned around by green collared workers and freelancers? I’m really glad that the writing jobs continue to rise.

I think there is a stronger transitional element involved here that many people realize. Of course, that doesn't change the reality for someone who has lost their livelihood. It does however change the look and direction of a recovery. A boom in new sectors is often accompanied by a recession in older sectors.

I know that Java developers are hard to come by versus PHP developers only because how popular PHP is and how long it has been around. Our online business is built on a Java framework and it was challenging to find seasoned programmers. Great article!
