Hi Bobbi,
The difference between XML, XHTML etc on one hand and usability and information architecture on the other hand is that the former is a 'harder' skill, and the latter 'softer'. Harder skills are best during downturns, when companies revert to bare bones and reduce fluff. Soft skill are better during upturns, when companies invest in 'nice-to-have' stuff, even in the form of part time employment opportunities as someone already mentioned.
My 2 cents.
