Probably the only place that is true at the moment. In my experience it is 
next to impossible to get decent IT employment in Yorkshire. The few 
employers that are hiring are looking for something for nothing or rather 
specific skills, i.e. if you have Java AND financial systems experience you 
can do okay.

I'm signed up with pretty much every major IT recruitment agency in the 
country, and I haven't heard a peep from any of them in over 3 weeks.
