Legal Jobs??

So, I'm a soon-to-be out of work transactional attorney who's looking for another job. I've been searching for several weeks now and it seems like NO ONE is hiring. I realize we're in the worst economic environment since the depression, but it seems like firms and in-house legal departments in Louisiana - which supposedly has largely skirted the downturn - would be hiring at least a few people.

The confidence I had at the beginning of my search has steadily waned as the job market looks pretty hopeless. I have a good resume: did very well at LSU for undergrad, went to a very good law school on the east coast and have a few years experience at a top Louisiana firm. Still...nothing.

Now that I'm done ranting, does anyone know of firms or corporations that are hiring attorneys? I'm looking mostly in LA and TX and would like to continue doing transactional work, if possible. At this point, however, I'm not inclined to be too picky.
