That's not clear at all to me from the facts stated. There is a global recession going on right now, which began a while ago.
I don't have any hard evidence on why her job search is not yielding results, that's true. However, I've seen people with similar skill sets (or less) with multiple opportunities. I recently put some feelers out for contract work, just to see what the environment was like and she was astonished when I had 3 full-time and 2 part-time offers in less than one week. I know it's cliche, but I don't think being a woman in IT is particularly helpful either.
Best wishes to your wife in finding suitable career employment.
