Finding jobs in the new year (mid-feb)

Was wondering how difficult is was to find a job in california in the mid feb. ?? Everyone is pressuring me to resign where I am, but I am interested in going elsewhere in cali. this is my first assignment, so not sure how the playing field was in the new year with the finding a job thing. I do not want to be jobless, with the economy and jobs being slow to come by these days. Hope everyone is enjoying their assignment out there: ))
