How is the job market doing in general?

Not just in terms of high finance, but overall. Easy/hard to get a decent paying job (70k+) in cities like NYC, LA, Chicago, etc.. if you graduated from a good school and have decent work experience? Not even talking about IB, but general jobs in finance or consulting.
