According to Rachel Kaufman of MediaJobsDaily.com there are a plethora of jobs available, but unfortunately they're not the jobs that people want (or are qualified for). The Bureau of Labor Statistics' Job Openings and Turnover Survey for May 2009 identifies 2.6 million job openings. Most of the openings were in retail, education, and health, with only 17,000 openings in "arts, entertainment, and recreation." There were 520,000 openings in "professional and business services," which sounds encouraging until you remember exactly how many jobs fit under that category (managers/administrators, accountants, lawyers, scientists, IT professionals, etc.)
