There are jobs out there. Sure, it's a bust cycle for the dev economy, but coding jobs do exist, and some people are going to get really lucky and get those limited jobs.

If you want those jobs, you have to find an edge, and hackers have it better than most. Hack the job search and you'll win.

Send me an email (it's on my profile) if you'd like and I can share some of the hacks I've come across to get you started. An example of a job-hunt hack, for example, is applying for a job that isn't being offered at a company you love, and offering to work for free for a week or two. I have stuff like that.
