Yes it certainly is, and this point most people are just happy to have a job full stop (at least that's my impression looking in from the outside since where I live hasn't been hit nearly as hard as the news portrays down south).

That said, unless you're in business for yourself, the odds of being with any company for any longer than 5 years, let alone 10, is still pretty slim. 5 years is a very long today in today's business world and the odds are that either you'll have outgrown your employer or vice versa and as a result you'll have moved on in that time. It might be the same job for a different employer, career advancement or a total change of career but for the most part the marketplace is so fluid that long term employer/employee relationships are a thing of the past.

Having a valuable and current skillset combined with a solid work ethic means you'll never be without options or opportunties
