I suspect the stats may be more biased by people who 'take what they can get' in the recession time, and then don't actually look to find more career progressing opportunities when the markets strengthen. (I've got a couple of friends that did that in the 2001 hiccup and despite my harassing still haven't left the jobs they compromised to take.)

If that is the case it's more important you recognise when times have improved, than to delay your entry by another x years.
