Job Market in Colorado Springs

Just wondering if anyone out there, located in or around Colorado Springs, can give me a head's up as to how the IT market is doing out there right now. I know it probably isn't that great, but I am thinking the a lot of defense contractors are still hiring as the war is still on going. I'll be ex-military with clearance and experience, are there still job opportunities out that way? Any companies in particular that I should be looking into?
