Interesting, I always consider it easier to get a job once you've got one. Someone joining or rejoining the workforce after a break I'd expect to have a harder time finding a job than someone that already has one.

Though, if your work environment is not great then you might have trouble finding time to go to interviews. I've always just gone at whatever time suits them and blocked it out as time I'm not working. But that definitely relies on having a work environment that allows that sort of flexibility.
