If you've got one..keep it. It really won't be easier this year unless something changes. I now work for a large company, and I am directly responsible for hiring as an engineering manager. Companies are hiring, but at lower wages and with higher requirements, because the market says they can. Many companies are no longer looking for that magic pill in technology, and, instead, are relying on what they alread have being made to work. There is little investment in advanced or new technologies and little investment in new projects.

Also, I have heard that off-shore engineering is happening even more, but I have seen the exact opposite. Many companies want direct and local control, and many companies have been burned by off-shore development.
