I can only talk for financial IT and I can tell you it's suffering. Budgets cut (or just not increasing) on any "interesting" projects, double dip recession (yawn) and the fact that a lot of companies are trying to hide their disastrous attempts at outsourcing / offshoring over the last 10 years (as in "Look how much money we've saved by not having local contractors now give me a bonus" and not "Holy Cow nothing gets done here anymore by that clueless consultancy I hope no one notices").

If you are doing great guns on your web dev consultancy then I am happy for you - keep it up - I'm jealous !
