Europe varies a lot, by country!

In the UK, there seems to be a shortage of moderately skilled people, but it's still kind of tricky to get a job as a junior developer. I've been looking for about five months.

Germany has a notable shortage of technical workers (der Fachkraftmangel) but some number of those jobs will require you to know German. Spain has ~20% unemployment (even higher among youth). Greece's economy is in the gutter (did you hear the news about the Troika)?

I'm afraid I have no idea about the USA, I guess it depends which area you try to find work in, right? I wish you the best of luck! What sort of area are you interested in?

Hoping to end up in some form of Data Science type job myself, but really so long as it involves me programming and getting experience programming, I'm happy.
