It's certainly still biting deep in the photography industry. Projects I would once have been paid decent money for are now personal projects because magazines and newspapers like the work but expect to use it for free or keep the rights to it or pay less than it cost to produce. Lots of demand but too many suppliers chasing a diminishing pot of gold. Certainly in the UK things are still looking pretty tough on the economic front in most sectors. The recession has proved a useful tool to some employers to cut costs, reduce workforces and increase their profit margins.
