I am in software. It's just that the bargaining power of juniors and new grads has fallen through the floor, but companies are still not willing to hire any of us. I would even work the full 7 work day/week schedule (despite all its negative effects) for CA$100k - which was once considered to be just an okay rate for a mid-level dev. I bet that many people I know would also take that offer.

Your willingness to work 7 days a week might just have a correlation with companies not hiring as many people

As far as I know, from the people I know, companies here aren't actually pushing people here to do this. Working conditions are about the same as they've been. Maybe a few are doing this, but there's not a trend. It's just that many have stopped or slowed hiring to the point where lots of people can't fit into the market.
