Where are all the IT jobs in MA

Where are all the IT jobs in MA?
My boyfriend graduated college this past May with a degree in Management Information Systems. He has applied to hundreds of jobs since then and gets little responses! He has gone on a few interviews but never hears back from them. I know the job market is bad right now but I feel so bad- he is very smart and hardworking and is a GENIUS when it comes to computers. He wants to someday be a consultant, but is just looking for a simple IT job to get some experience under his belt. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

Since you got no answers to your post, I'm going to try and answer your concerns here, Shannon (what a pretty name): What companies hiring for IT positions, there are literally hundreds of people applying for those same IT positions. I'm in the same spot as your boyfriend: very intelligent, hard working, a genius when it comes to computers and networking, graduated from college with a degree in Computer Network Specialist May 2008, honors, A+ certified, but can't get hired for squat because all the employers want experience. How am I supposed to get experience when nobody is willing to give me a chance? I applied for 100+ of IT positions and interviewed for 15 but didn't land a single IT position because the lack of experience and I quickly end up getting discouraged, frustrated, and thought I will never find an IT job because employers are picky on who they want working in their IT Department. They ceretainly didn't want someone fresh out of school who have been on the same PT job for four years now, interned for a month, could be trained the way they want, and can be on the job for a very long time. So, I volunteer for a computer store in June 2008 for a month to gain IT experience somewhere, I got interviews especially with the state, but, still no job offer from the state and I keep getting turn down for not having enough experience. I have a phone interview next week for a 8am-5pm computer technician position with this state agency. I'm going to light candles and pray very hard because something has to give and I got $4,669 of student loans to pay on and it's hard to pay those loans back with a low paying PT job. I have been on the same job for four years now so that should count for job stability and show the next employer I can be on the job for a long time. It's discouraging when you have been out of school for ten months now, dream of going into the IT field every night, but can't get your foot in the door in the IT field anywhere in town. I'm tired of going to the unemployment office to fill out applications and they can't find me anything. What a waste of time and gas going to the unemployment office. I tried my college who got job placement, but they wasn't much help in finding a job, or I would have an IT job many months ago. According to this veteran computer tech at the same computer store I interned at, I would make a darn good and bright computer tech at some company and would be there for a very long time.
