At the moment. I can see it flipping back to a diggers market in the not too distant future.
If you can't get commercial experience, get any experience that's on offer. Work hard, be eager to learn, these things get noticed and improve your chances as word gets round (its a small world).
Companies at the moment are looking to cut costs, I fear some are misusing the drive from IfA/EH to involve communities in archaeology to take on volunteers in place of diggers........but this is nothing new.
