Analytical chemistry. Specifically my forte is gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analyzing volatile organic compounds (VOC), semivolatile organic compounds (SVOC), and drugs of abuse.

Here is an example of how tight this job market is. In Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) where I live, which is a rather large metropolitian area, I had a job recruiter offer me a job that would require me to drive an hour each way and paid $10/hour. Unemployment was 'paying' me $10/hour and I didn't have to drive 2+ hours each day.
One of the cities here had a forensic chemistry job opening and as it was explained to me there were twelve experienced chemists applying for one job opening.

I am a 'victim' of too many science people graduating from college willing to work for next to nothing and too few job openings in an already small field.
