Sorry to hear about your situation, the boost in the hiring is the last in the economic cycle. If you feel like the labor market is slowing down, it is probably a genuine economic slow down. Perhaps, Apple's untimely product release was the indication that marked the top...

Thanks for your thoughts. We shall see what happens. Unlike 2000, there is not a lot of extra people on the design side in high tech. Most of the fluff is on the consumer sales side. For hiring it is still not real easy for employers to find people, but it is not tight enough to really negotiate hire salaries...

Off shoring of design centers have pretty much subsided for a couple reasons. A two-year engineering degree in India is not the same as a four-year engineering degree in the US, so many companies are actually pulling somewhat out of India for culture and language differences. but many others are only hiring in India and China if they can find people to work. However, they have off shored over half of all design centers already to overseas.

Nokia Selects Single-Chip from Infineon for Entry Level Mobile Phones
MUNICH, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Infineon Technologies (NYSE:IFX - News; FWB:IFX) today announced that Nokia has selected Infineon as a supplier of baseband and RF (Radio frequency) chips for GSM mobile handsets. The highly integrated single-chip E-GOLD™voice will be incorporated in selected future entry level phones from Nokia.
The Infineon E-GOLD voice system-on-chip solution combines a baseband processor, radio frequency transceiver, power management unit and RAM in a footprint measuring just 8 mm x 8 mm. The solution is designed for voice-centric phones with features like color display, text messages, MP3 quality ring tones and applications such as Integrated Handsfree and Speaking Clock.
Less chips, less end products, less engineers needed to design and manufacture them.
