I know its hard for someone in NYC to accept, but NYC is not indicative of the nation as a whole. Perm jobs have declined exponentially over the last 5 or so years.

Ad hominem attacks and hyperbole aside, perhaps you're not looking in the right places. I'm contacted by headhunters who are looking to place people in out-of-state (NY) gigs (perm and consulting) several times a week.

And by the way, I'm not "from NYC". I work here because this is where the work is. And my family is all here in the north east, so I'm not willing to stray too far at this point.
