Not necessarily. Most high or even mid range flight time pilots are not able or willing to take a job flying the equipment or working conditions that a low time pilot will most or maybe even because of the pay that is offered. They can probably make more on unemployment. So that being said there are still flight jobs out there doing photography, or aerial mapping, flight instructing, banner towing, etc. So there are jobs available to low time pilots
