Anecdotally, the vast majority of my developer buddies are gainfully employed, but a couple talented old hands who have been employed for 10+ years are struggling to find jobs.

Interesting, where are you located? US, Europe, Middle-East, Pacific?

Across the US, struggling friends are closer to the east coast of the US

Normally super seniors don't have too hard of a time getting hired since they have a wealth of knowledge. When was the last time they were on the job market? They could be rusty at how to look for a job these days.
