The job market here in KC is terrible now for IT folks. 
I recently moved from Silicon Valley (few months ago) to KC because the
job market out there was just plain ridiculous. I was sending 6 to 10
resumes a day after I was laid off for weeks...

 There were many jobs being posted but the HR folks were being swamped
with literally thousands of replies to each job posting.

I am just now starting to get e-mails now from my Monster account (now
that I don't need it...lol). 

It does look like jobs are picking up on the west coast. Will probably
take a long time to trickle back to us in KC...
