Have you looked at the who's been hired thread? When I do, it seems to be a bunch of folks saying they got hired, and listing their qual's. Most seem kind of normal. So folks are getting hired.
The job hunt was scary to me. All I can say is focus on what you can control. Don't sweat stuff you can't.
I only know one astronaut (went to SWA), everyone else was pretty normal. We all got hired.
I don't have any empirical data but based on my company's new hire class photos I'd enecdotally observe that they are 90+% white males 30-45.
