How hot is the job markets for commodities?

I have been in the commodities industry for 6+ years and, as it seems that we are heading into a recession, I want to know your thoughts on the job markets specifically for this industry. I might be looking to move from my current position (I am in a physical and derivatives trading role) pretty soon, and I am afraid that the search will be hard. Thats why I ask.

Any insights?
