I concur and think we might be right in the worst time of the economic crisis. I have the same problem as you for my employment and I see how hard it is to get anything decent.

I'm going to refuse a job in China in my field because despite the salary being better than the minimum local it's not interesting enough for me to move. And I got a few other interviews during which I could clearly see they were reluctant to hire me just because they don't want to pay a full salary to someone, even tho the salary isn't high at all (they'd rather hire you part time or as a freelance with who they can cut time any time)

My advice, take something in your field during this harsh period of time to get something on your resume, so you can access better when economy stops being so bad.
