My secret so far to being successfully employed during weird economic times (thankfully, the tide IS turning, albeit very slowly)...
I've always switched career fields when laid off - that way, over the years (4 layoffs in 8 years) - I have a wide variety of backgrounds to fall back on should I need to.
Of course, the best way to avoid layoffs is to go into business for yourself (as I did finally last year after the last layoff - mortgage broker now)....
Keep options open, educate yourself (either by going back to school or switch career fields), and always keep your network in touch - that is where ALL of my jobs have come from.
Best of luck, keep your head up, things will turn.
