Which has been a year. The recession and associated economic problems of the '70s went on for about a decade, from the end of the Nixon administration through Ford & Carter, and into the Reagan years.
As for finding a job nowadays, it sort of depends on what you're looking for. Factory or construction work I think you can forget about, but I'd just note that even with the current economic problems, the US is still importing skilled scientists and engineers. I've never seen numbers, but most of those who graduate from the programs I have contact with at the local university seem to find jobs soon after, or even before, graduation.
