>FWIW, I heard that 50,000 jobs in the US were cut _yesterday_. Add that to the people already unemployed and I don't think those 5,000 jobs in Ohio (even if every other state has the same number, which is unlikely) are going to go very far.

Maybe, maybe not. I haven't looked for a job-job (as opposed to a consulting gig) since college, but my impression is that a lot of jobs listed on job sites are actually recruiters building up their lists, and that the number of actual jobs is generally much smaller.

Also (and without looking at the list), it seems likely to me that jobs that are open in this job market are either very specialized or paying too little to live on. Maybe someone who has been job hunting lately can comment on that, since neither you nor I have done that.
