What is happening to the job market?

Is the current job market in bad shape? Or are employers trying to "short change" employees of their salary? If you meet your desired job, are you willing to suffer a hugh pay cut? what is the range that one can accept? 3 or 4 digit cut?

Lately, a trend has been observed. For the position of AM/M and above, it seems like the salary range is much lower or equivalent to that of a fresh grad despite having serveral years of relevant working experiences. Why is that so? Is it due to demand more than supply? Or is this the upcoming trend?

Would one really consider the nature of the job, organisation when applying or accepting a job? Or just apply or accept without much consideration especially during such a ecomony downtime? Having a job with huge pay cut is better than none. Even if the job is a contract sitting on a contract position, isnt it?
