You have useful skills, you should be quite employable.  If you had a track record of conceptualizing and implementing novel tools or solutions to problems based on your ML&#x2F;statistics background to really tie together the programming and analysis that would be golden.  To really gild the lilly, you also would want to have leadership and project coordination experience.<p>The best thing you could do to improve your employability is get together with some other unemployed developers and come up with a really slick tool that leverages ML&#x2F;statistics and open data to do something cool on the web.
